Before This Night Is Through

Beneath that frame you wear so well,
                                                                 are you a sinner or a saint
with that simmering of lust I smell
                                                                 although you show restraint?
You want me; soon you’ll show how much!
                                                                 The hunger is in your eyes.
I feel it in your tender touch
                                                                  I hear it in your sighs.
You can’t survive my full assault.
                                                                  You’re losing your facade.
It’s coming down; it’s not my fault!
                                                                  You’ll see you’ve been a fraud.
For underneath your skin, you burn.
                                                                   Soon you will be mine.
Before this night is through, you’ll learn,
                                                                   Burning is divine!

There's a song in Urdu: "Jab tak yeh raat gujrangi, tab talak asli chera samne aayenga." (By the time this night is through, your true face will emerge.) I like the way you presented this.

Always wonder why desires always have to be burning. Just met your friend ZenBruce515 on line. He is quite a guy and could not pass by. Read some of my new poems. God can see through any façade or acts of fraud. Jim Horn
