i wonder if you will pursue
the tactile desire that you
think i am the master of
but i am not
i wonder if you will challenge
me to kiss the curve of your hips
or the slack of your waist
the same way i place a gentle pucker
against your knuckles
will you be willing
to grasp an opportunity
that is frightening
only in the belief that
i am better than i am
or to over come the fear
that you will lose all you have
invested in the boredom
of the past
when the future
is unknown
i think you will not
but part of the challenge
is the gain over lost
of your intimate excitement
