~Red Beryl Vows~

~myths stripped~

Shall I be your lover

in a silken blue chemise

shall I be your doll

in porcelain mystique

will you bring me bread when I am hollow as the bowl

of the fairy tale in two fold abandoned and untold

 

Shall I be your man

in a suit of armor on a steed

shall I be your groom

in gender flip misdeeds

will you bring me apples when I am hanging by a branch

of a story where the knight is a woman, not a man

 

Shall I be your wanderlust

in a gypsy swirl of cards

shall I be your fortune

in a love line burnt and scarred

will you bring me gold when I am made up for your fire

of branches pulled along a road by a girl you’ve named Desire

 

Shall I be your w***e

in a saucer spread with cream

shall I be your bride

of a thousand one misdeeds

will you sell me to the god when my worth has run its course

off the side rail of a story,  without a moment of remorse

 

Shall I be your lover

your girl with ruby lips

shall I be, as always

the point repeatedly dismissed

will you be my crush  when my heart decides to wander

off the beaten track that every man has squandered

so will you

will you be my lover

off the beaten track

forsaking all the others

loving me intact

and will you do as I do

here

on bended knee

my offering a fluted glass

filled with silk Chablis

hidden from the mad above

beneath this epic Tree

an apple in my top hat

a song inside my throat

my vows to you in scales

between my mouth

my bow

a bold calligraphy

a rose

how about we just hold e-hands and walk through this long garden praising the flowers...oh, say, about Feather Tales, remember the little girl whose voice was taken by a curse, you'll really love the climax (about fifteen chapter on) where she arises (yet again) to make the future possible...oh, the coffee and eclairs set my day in a sweet direction

[Peter Joseph Swanson]

You are wonderful!

[Ray]

Beautiful xD

[Smirking Poison]

Absolutely brilliant. No matter the gender, no matter the disposition, and screw traditions, no one should be labeled, categorized and sorted like one amongst the other sheep - very true observation of what lays beyond the visual mask the surface world sees X

[Amy Bumpas]

This is breathtakingly beautiful...it lulls of mystery, intrigue,
and you pull the reader in willingly or not. So strong and assured
your words are. There are so many great lines in this...takes
you on twisted rows to be dragged into another, and loving
every minute of it:). I found it interesting that you refuse to
be classified by any gender...never heard any person say that
before...and I see your point there as well.


I do like your sensual style:))

[What happened to simple..]

This was quite dark at some points, but I loved how it turned out in the end. It reminded me of the 1700s - the romance that was there, that nobody dared write about, also mixed with a very modern and sensual feel. An epic combination =)

I loveeeeeeeee it

[Sean M. Addams]

I love the sarcasm running through this, unfortunately books are judged by covers. It's a learned behaviour but if you break free for conformity..the world is see through fresh eyes..really enjoyed this..

[StacyPerry]

I really enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing it.
