Hair entangled in your grasp,
feel your power in her lust,
tease her with your strength and tighten
your hold on her want.

Encourage her need, feel her melt for you,
touch her, don't touch her,
you are the master of this dance
she must learn, to stay.

She is willing, make her wanting,
taste her flesh, mark it,
she is yours now
make her know it.

Only you could take my breath with a single word
Only you could wake the butterflies deep in my soul
Only you could steal sultry moans from my lips with
your touch; as if it were your only goal
Only you could excite me me with the sound your voice
the most alluring I've ever heard.

Only I could endure the scratches you etched on my skin
Only I could elicit your passionate cries
Only I could leave marks of lust on the canvas you offered
your hunger evident in your eyes
Only I could recreate my poetry on your body with my tongue
revealing my every desire and sin

Only you could make me curse to the heavens above
Only I could make you mine in the late hours of the night
Only you could leave me alone without a trace
taking with you my inner light
Only I could still think of you fondly despite the pain you caused
for I was the one, the only one, foolish enough to fall in love

Your breath
was as warm as fire,
your kisses raw and relentless.
Your tongue went wild inside his mouth
as if its life had depended on the taste.
We had caved into each other-
a hunger we could not satisfy.
And while I searched
for ways to justify our sins,
you were already exploring all the places
upon me that had gone untouched
for far too long.

Her Grace Flows Freely
by Michael R. Burch

July 7, 2007

Her love is always chaste, and pure.
    This I vow. This I aver.
If she shows me her grace, I will honor her.
    This I vow. This I aver.
Her grace flows freely, like her hair.
    This I vow. This I aver.
For her generousness, I would worship her.
    This I vow. This I aver.
I will not **** her for what I bear
    This I vow. This I aver.
like a most precious incense–desire for her,
    This I vow. This I aver.
nor call her “*****” where I seek to repair.
    This I vow. This I aver.
I will not wink, nor smirk, nor stare
    This I vow. This I aver.
like a foolish child at the foot of a stair
    This I vow. This I aver.
where I long to go, should another be there.
    This I vow. This I aver.
I’ll rejoice in her freedom, and always dare
    This I vow. This I aver.
the chance that she’ll flee me–my starling rare.
    This I vow. This I aver.
And then, if she stays, without stays, I swear
    This I vow. This I aver.
that I will joy in her grace beyond compare.
    This I vow. This I aver.

I trace
golden stairways
over your skin that
lead me to heaven:
your body.

Guilt trip as his ***** slipped inside of me
Instant pleasure cause it's been so long
But somehow my conscious said it was wrong
If Adultery was a crime
I would serve a life sentence
As his lips touch my mouth, my breast, and my other set of lips
This rush
The excitement of it all
I took a pause and told him to stop
How could I do this to you
Silence as I drove home
When my car parked
I had to come to the realization that I'm not even your girl

The only motherly thing I knew
was the coldness of my blade;
gently washing away the
sadness of my burdened heart

This morning,
I’ve shed the heaviest tear
after twenty-one years
of deadly silence
