Poem Title:
Poem
I lie beside you Trying to keep still Yet…this need is eating away at me I sigh Sure that my desire Is working its way out of my body Glowing out through my pores I’m sure it will hover over you And entice you with it’s aura Pulling you awake… And I wait…. The minutes drag on My thoughts consumed By images that sear into my flesh What could be…. I can’t quench the fire Sleep is impossible Not now “Wake up!” My mind shouts Yet my lips are sealed My breath comes in muted gasps “Please…wake up” “Selfish, selfish!” My mind cries “Let him sleep It’s been a hard day He needs his rest.” I acquiesce I toss and turn In my mind I converse with you “It’s been awhile Surely…you want it too I don’t know what to do! How can I sleep When I desperately want you?” A movement on your side I hold my breath Hoping it’s true The craving that will not sleep Forces me to speak... “Touch me!” My most sultry voice Breaks the stillness of the night Your heavy breathing is stilled I feel an awakening Emboldened I guide your hand To my waiting breasts Which I’ve bared for some time In readiness In anticipation Waiting to bring me pleasure... You pull me to you And your lips close over them in turn Making all my dreams come true The open window carries out the sound Of our frenzied sleeplessness My every womanly sense Is taut….alive Wanting Needing Demanding Pleasing Energy born out of insomnia’s rage I blaze through these moments... Satiated…I sigh The tenseness wanes My body goes lax My eyelids heavy As a plant a kiss on your lips I slip I slid Into that land Of sleepful bliss. July 3, 2013 For the Sleepless Nights Contest Leonora Galinta
