Unconscious Desire

Unconscious Desire

from the heart of Julie Vandenberg

Unconscious desire crept its way through

penetrating the barrier constructed to lock away

that part of me fragile from neglect

hidden from view, abandoned and weak.

Slithering like a wisp of smoke

slinking quietly, purposefully,

surrounding and disorientating my conscience mind.

First silently, unexpectedly,

then thunderously enveloping me in a tidal wave of pain.

I couldn't breathe,

didn't want to breathe, 

tingling with an element of masochistic pleasure.

Openly embracing the forbidden,

yet fearing it would dissipate like fog in the light of day

taking with it the hidden ember

fanned only in the still of my dreams.

Those who were seen Dancing.....

My next tattoo....just not sure of placement yet....

Thinking my back....up on shoulder.....

Still need to do alittle work on the dancers...font and text placement....but love the quote...soooo describes me! 

Any one have any suggestions on a kewl way of incorporating the wording so that it's more cohesive with the picture?

Answered Prayers

Answered Prayers

from the heart of Julie VandenBerg

I prayed to God in heaven above

to let me know just once what love was.

To just once share that much joy, even pain.

To know the blushed heat of desire, of passion without shame.

To experience just once belonging to another,

that feeling, emotion that is forever.

So God please give me just one moment in time

to know what love was meant to be.

When you first looked into my eyes

I knew God had answered my prayers.

For how else could just a man

touch each part of me

bringing my heart and soul from slumber to wake

by the intensity of his loving gaze.

So if I have just this one moment in time

I know what love was meant to be

The man standing in front of me.

As your hand first caressed my skin

I knew that God had answered my prayer.

For how else could just a man

with the palm of his hand

make me feel as you do.

Feel as if I was always designed to love you.

So if I have just this one moment in time

I know what love was meant to be

The man standing in front of me.

I pray to God now that you are gone

to have back just that one moment in time.

To experience again the love, the desire.

To know once again the intensity of the fire

created and fanned by our two hearts

beating, if only for a time, as if they were one.

So if I have just that one moment in time

I'd know what love was meant to be

The man, now only in my memory

once standing in front of me.

Amore Pericolosa translated is "Dangerous Love"

What Will Forever Be

What Will Forever Be

From the heart of Julie VandenBerg

I close my eyes and you're all I can see

touching each part of me.

Caressing my heart and soul with the depth of love that once was,

capturing me like the quiet of a whisper at night

claiming what will forever be.

When our eyes meet,

mirrored there is the passion we've always shared.

As our lips caress, 

it is as if being awaken to a dream never designed to end.

Each touch a trailing fire intentionally set

to surround the fire once built within our souls.

I want to believe you still dream of me, 

of my touch.

That you body and heart remembers;

remembers the kind of love we once shared.

That you allow me the quiet,

when you can feel the beat of your heart

and the depth of each breathe

to caress and capture that part of you that will forever be.

When I close my eyes,

it will forever be you that I see,

making love with me gently, sweetly.

Firing within me the passion I dreamed would never come,

reminding me by each rapid beat of my heart,

by the yearning within my soul,

that you have claimed within me what will forever be.

As my eyes open the ecstasy of my dreams end.

The pain of reality once again awakens me

to another day barren of your love.

All that remains is the memory of what once was,

the ache within my heart and the yearning in my soul

to one more time have what in my heart

will forever be.

Stranger in my Dreams

Stranger in my Dreams

From the heart of Julie VandenBerg

I see you in the quiet still of my night

as I have so many times before.

Though we've never met to connect body and soul,

I know when we do my heart will know.

Yet in your eyes my dreams I see

forever loving me tenderly, sweetly.

Looking into my heart as no one else can,

touching my soul with love yet discovered,

firing within me passion and desire.

Played out only in the quiet still of my mind.

My dreams of you seems so gentle yet strong

like the falling rain turning to a storm.

Building in intensity with each moment,

each rumble of thunder,

to a raging inferno that consumes all it covers.

The fire, the passion that burns within me,

an unquenchable fire that only you have seen.

As your hand caresses each part of me

and your lips take possession of mine,

the fire within me grows for the one only my soul knows.

I dream to know you in more than my minds eye,

to know the source of such intense fire.

Burning each night between wake and slumber,

each night fanning the flame of passion and desire,

burning for the one only my soul knows.
