I get off my throne
Take off my clothes
I keep my crown
My silver bangles
Get down on the floor
Crawl
A slow
Deliberate animal
I lick my lips, shake my hair
I can see your hands tremble
Such are our desires
An urge, intense and primal
To play predator and prey
At times you are my slave
Others I am yours
We revel
In filth and shame
Games of pleasure and pain
Now
You stand over me
Still statue carved in stone
Silent with burning eyes
You are already mine –
But my submission
Its meaning
My legendary pride
Discarded
For you, thrown aside
A queen purposefully brought low
– makes you even more so
Placing the final piece in the puzzle
So complicated and yet so simple
The contract that binds
Is the one left unsigned
Your hand on my throat
My fingers in your mouth
The sharp intake of breath
I expect
When you’re on the edge
When I know you’re close
Tomorrow
And the days after
I will bleed into your thoughts
Seep in little by little
Until
The need
To taste me again
Takes over
Colours
With crimson red over monochrome
Controls
You – body, mind and soul because
Mine is the name you can’t say
I am the secret you can’t share
What should have been sunset-lit
But instead
I am your midnight remorse
Je suis ton remord de minuit
Tempting words and beautiful photos dear Poet.

Probably not on the level of Yeats or Wilde 😉 A combination of photos and chapters will make for a very interesting song of a certain French girl living in England.

You’re too modest – I’m sure you can come up with a really brilliant song 😉

Time will tell. I’ve got a few ideas swirling right now,and when I get home, I’ll put together a chord progression to see if it fits. It may take a few weeks to write, get a few bandmates to punch in parts, but it’s going to get done.
