Velvet touch; scarlet passion

Shake me down, blissful you

Wrap me in security

A fine embrace will do

Fill my void with your masculinity,

Harmony and adoration

Firmly grasp me with your voice

Let’s speak without anticipation

Selfishness and selflessness;

Opposites will surely attract

I’m unable to douse your flickering flame

I’m full of emotion you can’t extract

Scratch my shell with your snide remarks,

I’ll feed the ego that fiends

I’ll shower you with infatuation;

Satisfy all of your emotional needs

I hold you in my heart with high regards,

though you caused it much ache

You swept me off my feet last Spring

I failed to feel the ground beneath me quake

The escape to a distant plane was easily the best

We held each other’s hand until we laid to rest

No barriers between us, no confidence to wound

I dreamt of you so often; it all ended too soon
