My Beautiful Enigma
For Randy Baker's Prompted Challenge
whisper a sweet serenade in my ear
as your words cascade down my body
like a waterfall of poetry
drenching me, claiming me
as your velvet embrace
draws me in
--
moan an ethereal melody to my soul
as your tones burn through my body
like a fiery, passionate ode
scorching me, owning me
as your velvet embrace
draws me in
forever lost in your labyrinth
--
my beautiful enigma

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
