Pristine Interpretations
The obstinate angel stands between her desire and its realization
inhumed by impulse
then by mistrust be bound to walk a faithless path
and physical love
in unchaste carnal
be brought to unflattering sin
none but the charlatan there
denies the beast within
All but the rampant touch
to be laid upon her skin
as to such pristine interpretations
no lover can begin
never to lead her in
Her stubborn search for ecstasy
reined in by the fear of penitence
time she passes unrevealed
under the guise of reticence
never known and never spent
in the secrets she concealed
Better then to resist in silence
with just a pinch of love and openness
Yet there in the night
stalks a passion with its soft and panther claws
breathlessly lithe in its silken furs
her accusation behind its prison
a sultry wanton
too afraid to answer the abandonment's
of its purring arms
As dark to the darkness is
from which she always turns
the stiff-necked angle stands between her desire
and by mistrust chooses a faithless path
Little daisy angel on her tip toes away from herself
bright little pretty things
of there's nothing else
that witch inside her fevered dreams
abandoned by her own angel can't resolve
bury the enchantress there in the darkness there
there in her animal skin
and deny the beast within
Bright little angel speaks
childish with a daisy tongue
as she tiptoes past the wings of Eros
claiming to be simply innocent
don't crush the flowers
don't light the hidden spark
this wildcat of the fantasy
moves ever closer to her untamed heart
but she can't surrender
and so she can't control
as an emptiness grows ever nearer
to the yearnings of her soul
Placate desirous with the mediocre
ignore the spell binding to mysterious
find the emptiness has more to offer
in the time fixated
on daily doing something else
out there in the penumbra on the far side of such thoughts
the shadow of the purring panther
and sensuality forever stalks
