Loves Prisoner

.

I wanted to know the sighs

Of mercy.  On the bed she lied,

Laid bare in the shocking light

That twitches, as she rolls

I hover and cage her in question,

With moist eyes, abandoned

By loves interrogations,

I stab at the untruths and confusions.

I wanted to hear the supplicant

Murmur of indolence and shame.

With windy caresses I break

Her arms, she ropes me red

In tangled hair and I struggle

To let go.  I wanted to taste

The twin defeats of victory

And indifference, when in the light

Of darkest night there are cries of yes

And no and false accusations,

There is consuming pain and excruciating

Pleasure and as we squirm

And seethe, she teases,

Goading me and then,

I loose it.
