Richard Lamoureux Poet Couplet

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.
