Affairs of the Heart: A Muse

Transformative is the only way to describe your effect on me, The way a storm transforms the seasons Your voice is the rumble of thunder through my body, Our attraction, the sudden white bolts of light. Lips curled in that familiar taunting smile Mocking, yet captivating. Your eyes languidly roam my body Glinting with infinite promises Stripping me to the very essence My own eyes ravage you, Taking in your hauntingly masculine beauty, Tracing the startlingly perfect planes of your face. And your hands, Oh the glory of them! How every caress is burned into my memory How every stroke brings you deeper; Not only into my body, but into my blackened heart. The moment you release me, You become engraved to it. And in the same instant, questions consume me For I cannot distinguish between my love or lust for you I cannot even distinguish between art and love itself. So I Lie nestled in the shelter of your body Wondering (but only for the fleeting moment that you are my muse) For soon I will find new inspiration.
