cradled to her breast
are the words she craves the most
words she fears to read
-----
despite her desires
cannot tell him how she feels
she has him write his
-----
no skin left unkissed
body marked by eager lips
resting in his arms
-----
she puts up high walls
pretending she doesn't care
as desires fill her
-----
a bit off the path
beckoning me to join her
in a private way
-----
in fearful darkness
his words set her skin aglow
calmed her beating heart
-----
eager hands and heart
take my clothes caress my words
stripping me naked
-----
blindly she wanders
trusting her lover's guidance
across pleasure's edge
-----
just once more i asked
this time to be different
but no god heard me
-----
i learned to love you
but i know i have no chance
to be loved by you
