Within a spider's web, I was encased by fine silk thread My hands held prisoner by his, desire waited to be fed A veil of pearls he'd strung, like dew drops of satiny jewels He captured me completely with the nibs of pens for tools With romantic words he'd written, he made promises of love but kisses from his lips proved hotter than the sun above He became the imprisoned one, desire written on his face We found ourselves tangled in a web of passion's embrace Held by his wisps of woven threads, we had both been caught neither of us struggled to be free, neither of us fought When he enveloped me as his prey, a feast had been his goal but before the night was over, he took me deep into his soul I unwound my fingers from the poet so I could write him into my heart Together we weave romantic poems to keep our web from falling apart

Hi Lin, excellent poetry. The web of passion and desire. A web of joy , a web of sadness, where Love shall bloom and live or wither and die. Come into my parlour of Love's desires. The poets pen can be mighty indeed weaving its web. How strong the pen can be when it comes to emotions and the human heart Lin. I throw my seven upon The Poet's Web....Vladislav.
