The way I feel
I can not define
I don't want
to analyze or judge
I don't wish
to spurn nor slight
these feelings,
these pleasures
I've come to
rely on--
to count as
my delights--
our passions
emotions shared

So I just feel;
I welcome and accept
then I permit and give
with an open heart
with a willing soul

It's a shame
we didn't meet before

It's a shame
we neither one is free

It's a shame
we can't
respond outwardly
to what we
desire inwardly

It's a shame
I'll never be able
to forget
our moments
together

devour my soul
while I smother
your spirit

destroy my trust
with your silence
then I'll slaughter
your heart
with my touch

I am daring you
to adore me

a statue with no head
a woman with no voice
both ogled after
both wondered of

one is insignificant
one made invalid
both remain silent
both testifications
......of bigotry

both holding the powers
......of humanity
......of hatred
......of censure
both holding back
the crowds
with their consequences

why should you have doubt
that's like a deep dark black hole
there is no known end
when you question you will lose
that battle just can't be won

all I thought was "HUH"
my reaction to his rant
"HUH" was all I said
then I turned and walked away
I chose to end it with grace

If I can
quench
my thirst
and
at the same
moment
cure
my ailment;
should I
not then
drink
of the
divine
concoction
of this
love potion
that I have
discovered
