If
I will be held tight
and whispered to softly—
the words
will be
muffled.
Doubt will echo
in my nauseous head.
Trapped words will whimper
from my dry lips.
Fear will thunder
in my stuffy chest.
Panic will crackle
through my cold
sweaty body.
Terrified feet
will rumble forth.
In the stillness
of my sanctuary,
I remain rested
until passion
is silenced.
