Altar of Love

Sweetness,
upon thy lips;
forbidden the
poisoned kiss

Tantalizing,
the sweep
of thy veil
stolen breath

Mystery,
lurking behind
thy dark kohl
eyes, while
hunger lays
inside

Lingering,
perfume;
as a ghost
passing through
the room

Captivated,
by your essence
twisting like a fire
within my soul

Oh Priestess!
upon thy knees
before thee divine
beauty, that I may
be saved.

    I really like the short stuccato lines of this Muse. It moves very well; the rhythm is wonderful. I had never heard of the word kohl. I had to look it up. Thanks. I will have to use it some day. Oh is that a typo in the last stanza? "upon thee knees" of do you mean thy knees?

    Thank you

    Ahh yes, I was not sure, which was the right one to use. I fear my old english is not that good.
