The Lock Is Off

Fitting the key into the padlock
it clicks
and he unravels the chain
to allow a part of himself
to become enriched.

It has taken severe discipline
to lock away the growing need
for a spell of time
but in the silence of the walls
and structural creaks
his thirst must climb

Will he find her ready,
resting on the bed
her silky nightgown
calling him to caress
what needs to be fed?

Slightly light-headed
in that peaceful pose
hiking the fabric over
porcelain hips
displaying the shade
of her dewy lips

Placing his palm
on the small of her back
while his other
delivers a playful smack

A "yes" escapes her
and she shifts on the bed
delaying the slumber
so she can be led

His shape slips inside her
and she pushes against
her hand on the headboard
the feeling intense

She waited all day
fearing he might diminish
but he arrived just in time
with a favourable finish.
