untitled

i. the senses
a sudden, flitting
     – fluttering by
         like a butterfly –

            wouldn’t you …?
no.
            like to know …?
… no …
            really …?
… n-no
            you know you will
not now …
     not yet …
please

            you know you want to


ii. the seduction
the sensitive pale
     – laid bare –
the single throb of
     blue
     – exposed –

the slightest caress
            finely honed edge
     rouses the bare
the lightest touch
            of silver-blue
     ignites the exposed

            you know you want to


iii. the submersion
the outthrust limb
    – bared
        exposed
        naked –
the rich claret
     – pulsating
        trickling
        pooling –

sigh away
while away
smile away
     then

   slip away

             you know you want to

You Seduce Me

you seduce me
in the middle
of the night
your sudden manifestation
my sudden recollection

you scare me
yet tempt me
i want to
but not now
not yet anyway

so you wait
i know you
you will wait
you watch me
will claim me
you already know
i am yours
