I lie awake in
Utter unholiness of
Thought and deed.
The love that I have
For you acknowledging
That you are not in my presence.
This feeling of love and
Passion in such a raw
And unnatural force.
It devours me slowly…
Savoring all of me.
This love has engulfed
The core of my very being…
Daring me to follow it
Wherever it may take me
Compelling me and calling
For me…
All of me heeds to
This enrapturing bewitchment
Breath quick and ragged…
Making the flesh that was
Once touched too hot
To lay upon…
Enlivened by only the
Thought of your touch
Upon my flesh…
Thoughts blurred and maddened
With thoughts of you,
Belonging to you only.
Dreams flooded with
Delicious and sensuous visions
Of lying entangled with you,
Cresting over waves of
Ecstacy that the humble shell that
The soul inhabits crosses into
Such a realm of delirium…
Drowning in you…
Never wanting to
Resurface until you
Allow me to…
Yielding to all of you
As you partake of
All that I am sumptuously
Take all that I am
I plead, deprive me
Of all thought and
Sensation except those
That are of you.
Calm the tempest
That rages in your
Absence and rebels
When your touch is
Taken…
Allow me to be
All the you desire
And all that you seek.
Permit me to be yours
And yours alone.
Swimming through oceans
Of need, and want flowing
Into me, guiding me through
Places that were darkened to
Love’s illuminance
Clinging to you
Existing for you…
Loving only you.
Maintaining one flesh
With you, to never be
Apart from you…feeding
Your need and mine.
Passionate loving, and greedy
Kisses, setting lips and limbs
Ablaze to the very sinews and
Arteries…infecting the lifesblood
Once more.
Being yours evermore.
