Eyes of Desire In a Rainbow

Fearful fluttering, like butterfly wings, Guilty conscience screaming out warnings, Quietly trembling, feelings of breathlessness, Yearning to understand what I cannot prevent. I gaze upon him, and the trickling fire Runs through my veins with burning desire, Keep a tight rein, don't let it be known That you're burning inside, it shouldn't be shown, Yet daring to think I could beg to be touched, Knowing full certain it would not be enough To subdue the craving, hidden within, Of a nightmare of need that seems almost a sin, So powerful, so deep I can only weep. Love is wasted, trust betrayed, Like the promise at the end of a rainbow - And then - the knock at the door - of hope.
