Analysis of wilding desires
lips against lips,
breath against breath;
longing whispers
pressed into the softness
of a kiss;
the sweetness of a hunger
lifted unspoken from a tongue;
on these
i will lay
my appetites bare.
in your eyes,
lost,
i will fall the endless depths
of my wanting.
drowning in visions
of yearning and desire,
drowning in visions
of sweat and lust,
drowning in visions
of ecstasy's sin laid.
drowning in eyes deep.
touches;
eager to rest upon you,
to awaken you.
eager to know
your softness,
to know
the beats of your heart.
eager to know
the paths of your arousal,
to know
your every secret passion,
your every hidden place.
wanting touches,
wanting to wander freely
the whole length
of your body.
i will untame you,
your civilities,
your shadows
your most private self.
i will unleash
your unspoken desires,
awaken and arouse them,
call to them,
unbind them.
i will have you cry them out
in breaths
of consummation.
oh sweetest
of perfections,
i will
set free
the wilding
of your desires.
