Desire

I taste the sweat of desire
a fine wine correctly chilled
starting with the touch of a hand
and all the passion spills

the want I can't hold back
cacoethes now set free
a burning in my soul
to a white hot degree

a kiss of expectation
a whisper of words of love
a release of inhibition
what fantasies are made of
