From the Fire
by kahtt

Dancing before my eyes
From the outside
It is hot to the touch
I stood in its center
And did not feel much
Roaming wild and free
It is all consuming
But a fragile thing
A gasp, a breath, a sigh
And the flame will die
Burning true
It tells no lies
It has no ties
It sees with blind eyes
It's like the sunrise
From a fire comes life
A spark, and nee - life
Explaining how
We can walk through the flames
And come out alive.


How divine am I?
by kahtt

How divine am I?
As ripe and succulent
As the fruit of the vine
Let him taste me
I'll melt in his hand
And burst in his mouth
And if he touched me
He would want no other
For like the passion fruit
I am dark and mysterious
On the outside and
Sweet and tangy within


Milk bath Milk
by kahtt

I lay in a warm milk bath
My emotions seething within
Bubbling to the brim
And spilling over into sin

How often I think of you
Surrounding me, enclosing me
In your pale ethereal embrace
Caressing and comforting me

A mixture of light and dark
That's you and I
Like the out line of my body
In this milk bath where I lie.


The Red Dress
by kahtt

In that dress,
That deep, dark red
Burgundy dress,
Her form looks like
An hour glass
Filled to the brim
With wine.

A sip,
A hearty, full mouthed
You-have-to-swallow sip,
Tastes bittersweet and tangy
Like the grapes from
A well aged vine.
