Poem

Night of passion and desire
Still describes my favorite book
Raw emotion, like the fire
Still prescribes a second look

Turn the pages, yearning rages
Passions rising, taking flight
Lovers bloom in subtle stages
Tossing petals left and right

Chapter one is for the ages
Lover’s meet and love on sight
Chapter two reflects the wages
Some ignore and some ignite

Chapter three may breed dispassion
Embers glowing turning grey
Chapter four may need some fashion
On a lover's holiday

Every chapter tells a story
Every chapter breaks the rules
Every twist of fate and glory
Celebrates the family jewels

Chapter thirteen ends with sorrow
Lovers go their separate ways
Neither one can see tomorrow
Rising from their yesterdays

Chapter fourteen wistful longing
Lacerates a lonely heart
Memories of true belonging
Now demand another start

Chapter fifteen turns the tables
Passion, romance reignite
Ever after storied fables
Never seem to get it right

Suddenly their hearts are breaking
Romance won is romance lost
One last night of sweet love-making
Doesn't justify the cost

For the sake of seedy rapture
Miss Rapunzel grew her hair
All the love she hoped to capture
Will not save her from the chair.
