Corrosive Faith

The force of desire
stalks the very boundary 
of my confidence.

In simple wanting
do I trespass on taboo?
How will I then learn?

Even in fantasy 
my corrosive self-distrust
twists erotic vision.

We all have these desires, Anais. Back in the day, the nuns told us it was a sin to have such desires…call me a sinner. Life would be dull without ours fantasies.
