I am a Storyteller, first and foremost. This is my blog for poetry, prose, stories, excerpts of my novels and videos. Life poetry, prophetic poetry, poetry for all genres. I think you'll find yourself here if you read long enough.
Beware The Kitten's Claws
(The Enigma of Love)
Love she is, a red red rose
With thorns within her leaves
Perfumed coverlets on graves of death
Left there by the left one that grieves
Love she is, a sparkling wine
Waking feelings asleep that wait to be woke
Intoxicating inhibitions to rise up and flee
Birthing passion and poetry that wait to be wrote.
Love she is, the sweetest thing
And the saddest thing of all
The cold of Winter, the heat of Summer
Spring's bloom and the decay of Fall
Love she is, the tiger's wildness
The soft and playful paws
The kittenish purr wrapped up in fur
But beware the kitten's claws.
For love she is, a two-sided thing
She gives and takes away
With such tools employ, she'll bring you joy
And then leave you where you lay.
How do I know this tale of woe?
This mystery I speak of?
This gift of Heaven oft tinged by Hell
My friend, my name is Love.
And Love I am and Love I'll be
Until the end of days
An enigma even unto myself
And no man can learn my ways.
A rose with thorns, a life with death
A wine that reveals your deepest flaws
A tiger, exciting and a kitten, enticing
Who will love you and sleep with your heart in her claws.
