woman's voice rising
bohemian aria
operatic dream
-----
i often wonder
how did pleasure become sin
paradise defiled
-----
I've long dreamed of her
lusting for her openness
desiring to share her love
-----
love's rules are simple
what lovers agree is right
is how they should love
-----
know i'm not the one
never been nor will i be
at least you know me
-----
past sins don't matter
unless reincarnated
as present pleasures
-----
she's afraid i'll look
but I've already seen her
soul of secret fires
-----
watching her pleasure
treasuring climactic glee
stronger for sharing
-----
committing moonlit sins
watched by guardians of night
on our lovers' bed
