desire (poem)

your lips to mine

tongue asking to dance

hands in my hair, possessing

all you can possess

the strength of your body

a rarely shared and magical

secret

few have been honored to know

your wanting

close to the surface,

deep as the ocean floor

secrets, only I know

only you know

let me lay the weight of this

pleasure on you like a thick blanket

in winter,

the familiar and comforting curves

of my body

welcoming and warming you

our fire

burns brightly blue

you, the matches and kindling

I, the oxygen and spark,

consummation,

and the wild, licking flames

of desire
