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.
