			<title>I Am</title>
			<description>I am of the Sun and Moon.&amp;nbsp;I am made of the rich earth beneath your feet&amp;nbsp;The sultry roll of the ocean's waves.&amp;nbsp;I am made of the wind dancing through the trees&amp;nbsp;and the fury burning in the soul of mankind.&amp;nbsp;I am the power of a child's first laugh,&amp;nbsp;The knowledge shining in t..</description>

			<title>Sweet Sacrifice</title>
			<description>His lips are parted in sweet temptation,Muscles drawn tight as he rides his desire.Shudders rack his body as I trace his doom across his skinWith feather light caressesEliciting helpless hissesThat beg for kissesAnd a slip into heated oblivion.His heat licks my sensesMakes me water&amp;nbsp;And hunger&amp;n..</description>

			<title>Dark Moon</title>
			<description>The echo of the silence reverberates through my body.The stillness is frigid and heavy.A melody cut short by the discordant breaking of a string.I stole the power of Krishna&amp;rsquo;s fluteAnd hold the consequence cradled within me.I have become the dark goddess, Kali the destroyer.The poet&amp;rsquo;s so..</description>

			<title>The Lover</title>

			<title>Woman</title>
			<description>A woman&amp;rsquo;s heart holds many secrets. We are like a snow-covered field, beautiful and silent, yet hidden underneath is where the life and movement truly lays, secret and deep. A mystery never to be solved, a legacy never to be told.Like no other creature on earth we live in silence; so many thou..</description>

			<title>Sweeting</title>
			<description>She looks into his eyes and smiles. He touches her and she shivers. She presses her lips to his and feels her body yielding. She wants to show him how he makes her feel, to return the joy he gives her every time he whispers her name.She slowly unbuttons his shirt, kissing the skin she exposes, then ..</description>

			<title>Crossroads</title>
			<description>The sent of burning wood washes over me, the air is cold and thick and envelops me like a shroud. The quiet here is deep and searching.&amp;nbsp;I stand at a crossroads.

			<title>Invocation</title>
			<description>I am the goddess of the night,The dancing flame against a midnight sky.I am your passion, your obsession,You burn to be between my thighs.The hoarse cry of lust is my prayer,Ecstasy, my incantation.Come quench your thirst from my lips,And slip into oblivion.</description>

			<title>The Swan</title>
			<description>She sat in the dark listening to her own breath as she waited. She waited for her angel of death to deliver her once again. To give her what she yearned like a drug more potent than the Coke she used to crave. Coke didn&amp;rsquo;t come close to the kiss of a blade against her pale skin. The adrenaline ..</description>

			<description>Hell is deep, its cries echoing into heaven making angels bleed. Blood tinged tears are the solace that they weep, washing away sins with their tainted purity.
