Sleep be stayed…
Give me more of this
that I have wished and given
my soul for,
let the angels bare witness
to my devouring
let my pleadings coat his ears,
my taste on his lips and
rest on all of him that is utterly
male and in defiance of my
moans of cessation
let my no’s be his yes and
take me as I am, as I wish to always be
make me his
let me remain here
let me stay in this inferno that we
have created in these moments and in the ones
that follow
let sleep ever be elusive from me
let me be subject to him
and belong to none but him
let his desire and his lust for me
be my healing balm
let his hands be ruthless in his pursuit of me
in his thrusting in and out of me
let me be his
prayer cannot be used to soothe
such aches and neither will I permit it to
he is all I need
