Phantasy
You leave me breathless………
Images harbored in the chasm of anticipation
and denial
stoke infatuation to obsession—
bring life to sheltered thoughts;
quickens my essence.
My want, for her sake, masqueraded.
In solitude there is no right or wrong;
no her; no him;
Just us.
fingers pluck and strum firestorms erupted
deep in my space.
I confess my ache for you; caress the flame,
plunge into the fracture of what I want
and what I’ve got.
loose myself in the fervor
Moaned invocations liberate your name
from the back of my throat,
initiate telepathic declaration of my yearn
for you.
I slide from my skin, slither across thresholds,
pierce your dream state; penetrate your being.
spin a cocoon around us
In our sky’s castle I give myself to you,
utterly and unadulterated.
You receive me safely,
touch me deeply
love me with wings.
I swim desire’s enchantment, feral
soar the possibilities of you
rock and vibrate; crest and swell
wax
in delirium’s heat,
suspend
spellbound in our Elysian love;
ebb
into the opiate arms of Morpheus to wane
behind willow’s moon
