hear me sharply when I say
I am at your dearest desire's disposal
in every accountable way
the spirit of spontaneity moves me
the welcome breeze of your warm, close
breath teases the spark of my whimsical
imagination
utterly guileless yet lecherously enchanted
is my fall of lust into you
emerald pools of exquisite hypnotic want
drown me ever so thankfully
within their sinfully shimmering waters
my knees quiver and quake
embarrassingly so at the mere peaking of just
one tantalizingly taut, perfect male pectoral
crest
my quickened breath becomes stolen by my first
full uninterrupted view of such a state of the
art and quite undeniably masculine chest
I am as such, the vision of a fool in high heels
standing too nervously before you
and quite obviously over dressed
though my actual clothing remains despairingly
enough intact
still, your magnificent gaze strips me
shamelessly bare
in a crowded room flooded by cloned Mel Gibsons
still, it is of you that I am solely aware
I recognize all too easily such emotional ailment
and all the reoccurring symptoms of my case
that one who is in fine tune to mutual desire
could guess
why, I suffer unbearably from the unrequited
want and despair of you with the over powering
grip stemming from the promise of such sweet,
sweet indefinable madness
and now if only such eyes could indeed be
outlawed
a much truer hold upon my own rapidly overheated
thoughts
I could much more honestly possess
but that couldn't make either of us any the more
happier now could it?...............
