Tempest

Like a great storm she makes her path, 
flying ever higher; blowing wild and free. 
The warm winds of her supple breath 
caressed an old soul when inhaled by me. 

Enthralled a heart; and made her mark; 
strong heart being held in passion’s silk chains. 
Spellbound is he whom she touches, 
with sweet seductions of pleasures and pains. 

She’s a lady of worldly ways, 
a tender lover; wise beyond her years. 
Though her confidence overflows, 
deep down inside, she locks away dark fears. 

As a hurricane, she’s a force, 
yet in her heart burns gentle desires. 
Her spirit may rage for hours, 
drenching her lover with torrid fires. 

She possesses many faces; 
a tempestual lady with a tender soul. 
Holds the power to break a heart, 
with the beauty to touch…and make it whole.

I see you have met the temptress who steals your heart and maybe gives it back whole again.❤️

Hi Alison, I pray she never gives my heart back, it was given freely and unconditionally, something I have never had occasion to regret. It is whole, it is now hers, likewise she gave hers to me and life is good, filled with love, joy and fulfillment. It is right, it is natural, it is unconditional. I'm glad you liked this poem. It is personal, very, and likewise very real in our lives. Thank you for your kind words. Ron
