Passion’s Embrace; Gaze by Sabina Bell

Passion’s Embrace

Velvet-wrapped steel encircling me

Tight

Unyielding

Awakening my senses and some primal urge

The scent of spice

and want

and need

Enveloping me in its soothing warmth

Softest brush of lips on my skin

blinds me

Makes me feel

like a woman drowning

Leaves me breathless

  but wanting more

Passion erupts like a wildfire

Burning

  Spreading

Engulfing us both

Caressing

  Tantalizing

 fighting for release

No longer able to be contained

Bittersweet pain

The hard press of iron

Filling me with hunger

and raw need

At last, the floodgates are opened

And the fire once more contained

Gaze

Green pools of light

Sparkling   

         Haunting   

                  Tempting

Refracting the light

Like cut emeralds

Beautiful

         Hard

                  Cold

Flickering promises

Whispering secrets

Breaking my heart

Piece

         By     

                  Piece

Until there is nothing left
