"Love hurts ... sometimes it feels good ... and sometimes it's just another way to bleed " - Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter Series - by L.K.Hamilton

[Herculine]

Velvet 'gainst velvet,

Silk 'gainst silk,

Softness wrapped in softness,

Warmth wrapped in warmth.

 

This is the essence of love.

 

Two hearts meet,

Drawing two bodies together,

Each heart blind to the physical,

Seeing only the heart for which she yearns.

 

This is the essence of love.

 

Two souls intertwined,

Ne'er to willingly part;

Two lives becoming one,

To fulfill all their mortal days.

 

This is the essence of love.

Dezdimona, your poetry has inspired me to write, and I shall write another!

[Herculine]

I wanted so much more.

 

I am left in darkness alone,

Abandoned,

My body used and cast aside,

Hot and wet.

 

I yearned for love and passion,

Received passion to my fill,

'Til achingly I could bear no more,

Yet I thirst for love still.

 

Lying in the wake of expectations

Unfulfilled,

Tears dampen my still-hot cheeks,

For I am alone again.

 

I wanted so much more.

[Herculine]

Immortal Aphrodite on thy throne of many colours,

Daughter of Zeus, weaver of wiles, I implore thee!

Break not my heart, O Lady, with excess of love and anguish,

 

But come hither, if ever before thou heardest from afar my cries and,

Leaving the mansion of thy father, didst yoke thy golden chariot and come;

 

And swiftly thy winsome sparrows bore thee over the dark earth,

Eddying their rapid wings, from Heaven through the midmost Aether;

 

And quickly they arrived, and thou, O Blessed One,

Smiling with thy divine countenance, didst ask what ailed me now again,

And why again I called on thee, and what in my maddened heart I wished.

 

"Who dost thou desire that Persuasion should bring to thy friendship?

Who doeth thee wrong, O Sappho?

 

Even if she fleeth, she shall soon pursue thee;

And if she accepteth not gifts, yet shall she give them;

And if she loveth not, soon shall she love -- yea, even against her will."

 

Come to me also now, and set me free from grievous cares,

And all that my heart longs to be fulfilled do thou fulfill,

And be once more my saviour!
