Queen of Passion

Oh Queen of passion please be still my heart
My pulse it quickens as I read your art

Wrap my mind  in "Instincts of Innocence"
Until I can offer no resistance

"if you wonder" know that "I am the one"
"You Silence me" with heat born of the sun

"To bloom in red flame" is a "Pleasured Pain"
Let me feel your "inner storm" once again

"Tell my Heart" about "Another Somewhere"
Within your verses I will travel there!



Dedicated to my friend Eileen
I have used some of her titles to stitch together this piece.

RICHARD!!! Oh! I saw the title and thought...could it be? I'm SO SO thrilled! I needed this affirmation today. You are a man of integrity and honesty and when you praise my works on passion, I feel validated. :) Thanks EVER so much. It has your signature finesse. It was a LONG day today. I only got in at around 8:30 this evening after having been at the University all day. I would have come sooner. THANKS EVER SO MUCH!!! I will cherish it FOREVER! :)
