The butterfly barricade crumbled to dust
And so did the polished rose glass windows
Longing painted some vivid stains
In an empty bed, drenched with sorrows.
Cloaked in shadows I watched you, afraid.
But, I wanted to know your taste
The night turns dark, I like awake
Sensing your movements, a dangerous grace
Beneath fingertips, like velvet
Upon lips and limbs, in fiery dance
In a night of touch, with you as muse
And the songs I collected like prayers,
Let me offer them, in servitude
Beside your altar, I contemplate
Should I hold my breath, should I wait?
The consuming need won't die away
As I crave for you like one depraved
I lie in suffering, enslaved.
