The dark dance calls softly, like Night Shade or Oleander. Just a little taste... Just one more slow waltz... I can smell her wet orchid while I sleep. She moves languidly through my dreams possess me at dawn with lambent steps. The love is violent, like a bullfight. It's sweet and treacherous, ferocious. Fatal for one of us. And she's been gored.
Ah, i am reminded of Georia O'Keeffe's wonderful and sensual orchid artwork....
A lovely poem Thomas, starting softly and building with intensity
until the final explosion of passion and madness.
I enjoyed the images you created here..:)
