My Angel of the Night

My Angel of the Night

My angel of the night

On swift wings come for me

Are you dressed in the form of man?

Here to bleed my soul into eternity?

Or with feathered wings of white?

My angel of the night

Come swiftly then on your wings

Take me into your arms

Feel how my heart beats and sings

Object of your sensual delight

My angel of the night

Enrapture, capture and enthrall

Take the gift of my body

Ravish and caress my soul

My angel of the night

Has the pleasure found in my arms?

Given enough to warrant your charms?

Will you visit here with me again?

I have given you the right

My angel of the night

Restore Me

Restore Me

Sweet dry scent of baking grass

I stretch inhaling fragrance

I feel your slender stalks

Gently press against my skin

Warm for a moment

Then heat envelopes

Tempered by cool breezes

As the sun pours over me

Birds whistle and chirp

Peaceful and tranquil

Nature's intensity dissolves mine

"Listen" It calls to me

"Feel" It calls to me

"Peace, be calm rest"

Summer day restore me

Remains

Remains

Embers here remain

Passion's flame

Charred and scarred

Betrayal of lust

Seduction's game

Love no chance

Forbidden fruits given

Spoiled and rotten

Driven into the dust

Iniquities den

Tattered bits of lace

The lover's couch

Scattered and torn

Clothing ripped

 Adulterer's touch

There lies the body

Naked is the tart

Broken and bent

Death of angel

Cause a broken heart

Still

Still

Why do I need you?

Why do I hunger for your touch?

Why does my thirst long to be quenched by your kisses?

Why does my soul ache to hear the sound of your laughter?

After all this time

Why does my soul still ache to hear the sound of your laughter?

Why does my thirst still long to be quenched by your kisses?

Why do I still hunger for your touch?

Why do I still need you?

Because

Still

I love you

Someone

Someone

I want someone to hold me

I want someone to release me

From the prison I placed myself in

From the walls that encase my heart

I want someone to hold me

I want someone to tease me

Let me laugh and smile again

Let me mend my soul again

I want someone to hold me

I want someone to want me

Respect that I am a woman

Respect that I am yours

I want someone to hold me

I want someone to love me

Cherish my talents, compassion and courage

Cherish my sorrows, faults and failures

I want someone to hold me

I want someone to release me

I want someone to tease me

I want someone to want me

I want someone to love me
