tenderly

 

desirous of a touch
a need, a want filled
wantonness bleeds affections
then blushes within herself to be so brazen
shyly reverting back to the shadows
touching her secrets

inside me I gasp
within my hollow spaces filled with poetry
I no not what passion's play has for me
the story untold unfolds slowly
a mystery perhaps a few to be revealed in their timing

you lift my veil and peer into my soul
I wonder what it is you wish to discover
in my nakedness I shiver
to be wholly honest is unnerving
but in your mind I know you would accept no less from me
so I try to be unflinching
trembling while you tenderly uncover me
