Desire

His eyes gleam
smiling ever slightly apart,
worming closer
I feel an ache build in my heart.

I long to feel his fingers on me
 I trace mine across his chest,
burning to kiss his lips
I plant mine over his.

Aflame with old desire 
I cover my unrest.

A moan escapes 
hurling me to the ground
face to face,
hand on hand
anxiously I lie bound.

his breath is gentle,
painting a cloud of peace,
buried under his beating chest lies a sleeping beast.

Hungry for affection, 
wanton with desire,
I wait up
for daylight to attire.

Warm and magnetic,
a growl rips from his teeth
scarlet up for his display
a banquet at his feet.

The butterflies come a flutter
waking from repress,
into the night with their gleaming eyes
leaving un-addressed.
