Wendy Bureau Poems

Consumed by midnight's darkness
A black candle flickers, the only light
Body, dimly accentuated
For a night of sinful delight
...

Dance with me, my partner
Spirit lover, of rhythmic step
Foot upon my floor of flesh
Take heart of offer, accept
...

An unspoiled virgin love
White orchid innocence
Precious, pure, youthful
Sacrificed, no consequence
...

Induced, a downward spiral
A maze, most difficult plight
Not easy to ignore temptation
To retaliate, sheer spite
...

Perched high 'pon a rock plateau
Eyes vision, of rarest sight
An angel of feathered wing
Horned priestess, of darkened night
...

A yearning, a lust
To caress your skin, your soul
Completing this circle
Indeed, has made us whole
...

Lying awake, insomnia
Darkness engulfs the room
Eyes, unable to focus
Isolation, mind games, dooms
...

Your warm body lies next to me
Yet emits such a frigid chill
I try to cuddle, comfort you
You play asleep, and just lay still
...

Flesh carved not of creation
Nor of accidental occurrence
An act of aggression, release
Confirms self control's reassurance
...

A single dove soars of Nightingale's song
Circling such a delicate sight of flight
Whilst once, oh how thine heart did long
Saddened, no love doth it beat, this night
...
