Bittersweet Lessons

---A Love Poem---

I don't need a Shining Perfect Hero

To swoop down and Rescue me.

I have heard Tales of Daring and Adventure

And Bravado Beyond Belief...

Before.

And it just got me Chasing Dragons

Inside my own head.

I've never been Queen, nor princess.

Not for longer than a scene.

I can't Always Create my Reality

To live up to my Dreams

So Now...

I want a Man who will Take my Hand,

And walk peacefully, serene.

But I am so far from Perfection's Door

How could I ever Expect More...

Than a Man who Does His Best Each Day

And in Doing So, Shows me the Way.

Lyrics

 Longer Lashes...



I have floated high above you
Basking in adoring praise
I have stood right here beside you in so many ways

Now I hold to you the power
Do exactly as you please
Standing there so strong above me I fall to my knees.

Tethered to that black seduction, on a line of amethyst...Leather lover, my salvation is drowning in your amber kiss....I only wish...for

Longer lashes, loving lashes, falling down on me like rain.

Longer lashes, loving lashes,
you make me feel again.

Take me gently, bind me tightly as I'm calling out your name.
Shove me harder to excite me, it's our little game.

If you show me tender mercy, I will only beg for more.
Now I know you won't desert me right down to my core...

I can taste that sweet-sick place where flesh and lust and maggots feed.
Don't you waste it with your haste now, slowly lover, make me bleed...cause all I need...is

Longer lashes, loving lashes, falling down on me like rain.

Longer lashes, loving lashes,
you make me feel again.

Tethered to that black seduction, on a line of amethyst...Leather lover, my salvation is drowning in your amber kiss...

I can taste that sweet-sick place where flesh and lust and maggots feed.
Don't you waste it with your haste now, slowly lover, make me bleed..
.cause all I need..
