Keeping up appearances
Beneath this blushing embarrassment
is a love
of humiliation.
Beneath this humble apparel
is a body
dripping for you.
Beneath this apparent innocence
is an animal
begging to be broken.
Beneath this proud freedom
is a need
to be enslaved.
Appearances can be deceiving
is a phrase
you should remember with me.
Never judge a book
when it only abides its cover
because the restraints are pleasing.

Funny how some poems need to marinate for a while before they are ready to ... breathe

Enjoyed!! Especially the last line, "the restraints are pleasing." Question should the next to last line read in its cover??

I'm glad you liked it niknshell!
Abide actually means 'to put up with/to submit to',
so no, there shouldn't be an 'in' in there :)
