untitled poem by TR

[Tragic Rabbit]

*

tawny skin, lion eyes

glowing, knowing eyes

you lie serene,

secure, demure

against the pillows of my bed

bemused, enthused, amused,

those bewitching,

lightly twitching

silken, satin lips, ah,

such an struggle not to smile

my love, my threaded heart,

ringed round with golden strings

so tight, and yet so light

the silver smithied jewel cage

where lives my beating blood

heated fire, heart?s desire

runs throbbing through

thrilling, filling me with fire

its rhythm true-

the flame is you

*
