Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Saint of Lust

Saint of Lust

Release these chains of tortured deeds
Along a sculpted veering hedge
Upon this path where darkness feeds
Of jagged cliff so near the edge

For one false move, beware ahead
Beneath the agony now shown
Within these eyes and lips of red
Sit heartless wishes winged and thrown

So find from me a hand so born
You maiden fair this summered breeze
To greet thy heart within this storm
Unshackle those in motioned ease

To lie with me of feathered dreams
And take of this, my soul can bare
Your beauty comes of all it seems
In flesh that I do long to share

For of thy skin my mouth does long
Aroused in pleasured flitting feast
Rose petal soft, magnolia strong
To sooth the yearnings of this beast

O’er endless days to hold you near
Pure love doth conquer moistened loins
Melodic whispers call thy ear
Eternally we shall be joined

For I am called the Saint of Lust
Come taste the flavor’s scented mist
Young soul now lost, misguided trust
As I partake your orphaned kiss

As evening whets this appetite
And shadows stand beyond the crest
My kingdom beckons of thy sight
O’ crowning jewel to quell my quest

Darren White April 25, 2017 at 8:41 AM Forgot the 7 :p Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 8:54 AM :)

Darren White April 25, 2017 at 8:40 AM Chris, this is more than simply beautiful, and there is so much I'd like to quote, that I would almost copy the entire poem... Don't you dare questioning your talent... 7 and fav. Darren White April 25, 2017 at 9:13 AM Good :D Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 8:54 AM Thanks so much Darren for always being so kind to me. I question things all of the time but don't worry, I never answer myself. :)

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 24, 2017 at 9:05 PM Chris, this is brilliantly crafted and the last two stanzas are fun to read "O' crowning jewel" . . . one more conquest, on more notch on the belt:) Amitiés Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 8:14 AM Thanks so very much my friend. I am happy you enjoyed this one. I appreciate your kindness.

Lisa Ricci April 24, 2017 at 5:34 PM Top of the Evening Chris. This is more than beautiful. I see and read attention to detail. Your words are well thought out. This is one of those entries that must be read out loud slowly with emphasis and with pauses between stanzas. I remember when you said you were in the process of composing this. Be very proud of the execution and outcome. You went beyond. Honestly. Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 5:43 PM P.S. I did change the title. Saint of Light didn't seem to fit this poem that well when I finished. :) Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 5:41 PM Ah, that's right I remember talking about this on your poem. Thanks so much Lisa for 1. remembering about this one and 2. for your always kind thoughts on my poetry. I did work on this one a bit longer than most but it is out of my normal realm, so it required more thought on my end. I am happy you noticed.

Constance La France April 24, 2017 at 5:33 PM Chris, oh those feathered dreams! A beautiful write, A7 Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 5:38 PM Thank you so very much my friend. Your kindness is truly appreciated.

Emile Pinet April 24, 2017 at 4:41 PM This poem is not subtle about the concept that sex can and often does rule the libido of man. We are all subject to our basic needs with hormone driven desires that may at time supersede love for lust and the raw pleasure of sex. Emile. #7 Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 4:52 PM Wow Emile, you said it better than I ever could. :) Thanks so very much my friend for your kind thoughts.

Nette Onclaud April 24, 2017 at 4:23 PM very vivid way to handle this theme on temptation ...and you pulled it with such an edgy feel about it, chris... lovely!..huggs Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 4:52 PM Thanks so very much Nette. I tried be as vivid and descriptive as I could without crossing any lines too much. I am thrilled you liked this one.

Charmaine Chircop April 24, 2017 at 3:13 PM I do believe we are all intrigued by that saint of lust many times....At times He is as strong as the saint of love...One thin fine line that makes a difference...Carnal desires so well expressed..and more thoughts ...between the lines..Chris. Chris Green April 24, 2017 at 4:51 PM Thank you Charmaine. I just thought I'd get a little edgy and see if anyone liked it, I am so happy you did.
