let the romantic games begin
I’ve won before I’ll win again
streaking by at steady speed
I warned you before
but you didn’t take heed
arrow straight, bow well bent
to pierce your heart
is my steadfast intent
hair of flame blows in wind
scenes rushing past
archer’s aim sure as sin
heart my target, love to gain
shall I pierce you through
with flaming arrows of pain?
hide you can’t, run if you will
I crave the pleasure of the hunt
love the thrill of the kill
lying at my feet when day is done
prey captured in my arms
for the huntress has won
your game of duplicity now ends
you are mine, the huntress wins
so shoot me already! -- I am waiting -- I enjoyed this poem a great deal Belle -- it is worthy work -- may peace and love be with you my dear friend -- Jon Michael
Predator and prey, sexual callistenics, all is fair in love and war! It's La Belle Rouge who gives us outstanding measures of love poetry we can take with us to those candlelit corners of the boudoir and "feel" ourselves in those places she seduces us into...The Huntress is a plate of only what's left of her conquest, the erotic feathers of the quail and pheasant, La Belle of Red has devoured the meat!
Yes, Belle, as others have picked-up on, the muscular strength of emotion and drive is potent in this write. And I'm totally fascinated: collective consciousness is a very weird thing and I have been looking in Wiki at Jungian psychology over the past few days, to do with sexual archetypes and the anima/animus (inner female of the male psyche and inner man of the woman's) I've written some thoughts about it which I may roll out, but basically the root word suggests the animus in a woman is fundamentally an ill-disposed aggressive spirit, rather than one that exudes "male" strengths in other ways. I find that quite difficult to swallow, but may explain why Huntress within all of us exists. Battles for inner harmony I can ride with, but battles for supremacy inflicting pain just don't float my boat... Guess I'm a fairly weedy man-woman, then... but I sure as hell ain't no woman-woman neither!! :)) Sorry for the ramble, but another fine poem which is rapier-sharp on all levels: the duplicitious lover gets his timely payback! :)) xx
YOUR IMAGERY IN THIS 'SKIT' OF A SUCCESSFUL 'HUNT' IS MARVELOUS AND, IN MANY INSTANCES, SO TRUE...THE POOR GUY(SMILE). THANKS FOR SHARING LABELLE...YOU ARE ALWAYS ENJOYED. GOD BLESS AND LOVE,
