thorns

the delectable ms sugar has asked me to make it clear ...
that she, herself, was not my first magical muse. herself had no part in causing the suffering and misery which inspired these works.

this tragically one sided affair of the heart preceded the meeting of sugar and the wolf! since our paths first crossed, the magnificent ms sugar has always occupied the position of "muse most marvellous".


thorns


show me the way
to reach your heart
through your barrier
of thorns
they guard you well
my hands grow scarred
with the trying
my inability to abandon
the desire of my heart
my wish to know you
my longing to journey
the path of life with you
allow me no choice
the attraction is inevitable
the pain unavoidable
your thorns repel
and still you hold my heart prisoner
