Seldom Love Is Spoken

She smiles and you look away.
Who controls who I am? Ain’t me for sure.
A mute shriek at my mirror,
I feel sheltered to the core and on the bed tingling soars.

Such tenderness and yet the kiss hits me like venom.
The thought of tomorrow leaves me with a smite.
and anger wrapped up in deceit,
It’s more than I can bear, and then begins the foreplay affair.

My lips turning red with every bite,
Distressed, testing the restraints I vigorously fight.
Ridiculous rules to adhere to, chained to an invisible tower,
circles with motion and i am sensuously drenched in a shower.

With the touch of her hands i feel an absolute disconnect to everything,
and soon are revealed all my forbidden sins.
The bird, when uncaged, will take to his wings.
Our bodies arched and the mood swings.
