Rush or wait, love or hate
Commit or betray, leave or stay
Fulfill or tease, flirt or please
Be strong or be weak, be humble or be chic
Embrace or isolate, **** hard or *******
Listen or confide, shine or hide
Deny or accept, withdraw or connect
Speak or write, falter or fight
Crumble and grow
Ebb and flow
Laugh and cry
Live not die
Let go to hold tight
Be wrong to be right...

I'll never tell you good-bye,
always awaiting the next...until.

You reach into your chest,
then with hands outstretched,
Offering your bleeding heart for me to savor.

Like a fiend I devour my ration,
each supple bite of primal passion,
Lick every drop from your fingertips, addicted to your flavor.

I'm FINE
****** (up)
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional
...
Now please, stop asking me.

Two souls as one in twisted pleasure
Kindled hearts of unvalued measure

Kisses together part holding a token
A reminding trinket of bond unbroken

Bittersweet draw of yearn and splendor
Beaming love kept a hidden treasure

Face to face the words need not be spoken
Yet distance betwixt burning poet awoken

Parting kisses saying until...
Relighting fire, you give me will.
