free of such foolish sorrow
I look longingly upon the promise of the morrow
standing proud
but not too much so.........
a better woman I would like you to think
having lived beyond the path of many a not so
noble heartache's storm
but a new and shining love stands
so to gain a foot hold
in the glorious gleam
of the future's lingering mist
the dreamy focus of the eyes
too often gives away the soul's shuttering
intent
warm buttery leather
welcomes my clearly nervous rest
as I sit in awe of your mastery over
personal self control
you are so utterly amazing to watch
you want me terribly
but only just so
free
willing
hopeful
and with such desirous results
your hooded eyes
suddenly flair to life
at my startling confession
the taken has made her decision
at last she has decided to do some
talking of her own
what she wants
is you
every last ruggedly handsome inch
minus any pretense with all your flaws
and flaming needs
nothing shall I leave out
with your maddening Mediterranean eyes
riveted to my freshly moistened lips
by that fearful pretty culprit
my tongue
I allow the fast shifting forces of your
incredible will
to sweep me so preciously
perilously close into the warm safe haven
of your strong embracing torso's vest
almost too torturously you whisper
thank God darlin'
within the dark confines of a passion laced
kiss
leading me to believe
most fervently
that 'The Taken's Taking' wholeheartedly
agrees
breathlessly I echo back
Thank God squared
which makes you chuckle
as you bite at my lips...........
