Denying the ripples of the heart



Margaret:"Do you tease me because it amuses you?"
Charles:"Why else?"
Margaret:"Because you love me!"


What should I call this royal siren clenching my heart?
The veil that has been shed upon my desire.
Reaching for something that I cannot touch
Walking on forbidden grounds painted ginger like her hair.

Denying…Denying what is meant to be called love.

What should I call this temptation conquering my every sense?
Drawn to the silk of her skin, I’m stalking her through shadows.
Been walking this path for years without getting caught in the trap
What had befallen me on this sinister eve, what rules I’m crossing?

Denying….Denying what stirs in the cold dungeons of my heart.

What should I call her apart from English rose, bonny and thorned.
For I am driven mad by illusions of wilderness and naked bodies
She is standing on the corridor waving for me to approach
And I turn into a wraith, chasing her until I am deep within her.

Denying… Denying that I am more human than I ever thought.

What should I call this hand , gentle yet violent rippling my insides
Once creating thunderous storms , then clinging to blinding sunshine
And in my mind we are rolling down the green hills
My body forceful over her frail entity, muting her with kisses.

Denying…. Denying that I am surrendering to a woman’s charm.

What should I call this surrender shameful even in times of war?
The strength I thought I was possessing is no longer mine but hers.
She moves, no she glides, in angel made gowns and I am Hell incarnate
Yearning to possess her, to ensure that she will be noone else’s, only mine.

Denying…Denying that I was captured with chains unseen.
Alas, can I deny it?

Author notes

Inspired by the tv couple Charles Brandon and Margaret Tudor of "The Tudors" and written under the sound of Loreena McKennitt's "The English Ladye and the Knight" who inspires me a lot. This is Charles's point of view in the beginning of their relationship. Also check my other poem "As i lie here dying" which is Margaret's point of view.
PS Don't like how it looks in here.The main verses are meant to be 4 lines but apparently they are too long for AllPoetry,hope this doesn't take away much from the poem.

    Great imagery. I liked how you bought it back to denying denying

    I like the structure of it.
    I have read the margarets point of view one and am now glad to have read charles'

    I'm not personally a fan of the background and font colour it wa slightly harder to read. But I still enjoyed it a lot all the same
