Valentine Fatale


"Valentine Fatale"

Pull the violin
strings 
from the heart
like a corset undone
there the softest rose,
blood red plucked, 
the thorns played 
and petals cast 
as kitty discard
from the breast 
of a Valentine fatale
voluptuously falling
into the open arms
of Love, spilling
over into romance
like a broken dam
ripely held in the 
bow of cupid smile
passion full 
drawn into 
the delectable swim 
twirling swirling down
into the warm velvet
like moss, so green 
against reflective 
sapphire pools, 
the dangerous sea seen 
like an inviting ocean to kiss,
in such vastness taken,
the lost fast falling
thick panting eyes 
mirroring each other
in the dance,
like a waltz Viennese
Love, spilling over, 
like a broken dam
fallen, then, 
pulled back 
into the catch, 
netted and tangled up 
in the ropes of 
Rubenesque romance,
eye to eye
hand to hand,
a burning flame 
ripely held in the 
bow of cupid smiles,
incandescent 
fiery twin arrows,
the well lit,
seduction

absolutely....line by line this limn is pure enchantment....the depth of love's embrace pulls one deeper and deeper into the greatest of all gifts, the ability to experience love, all of its heavenly vortex....more so, the joy in knowing....romance lives yet in this quill...there is the existence of a rose in this fettered world of banality....

I enjoyed your "Valentine Fatale" write. "Love, spilling over," is a wonderful line. Love can mean many different things to different people. Happy Valentine's Day as you write away.....................
