Feast Or Famine

Passionate kisses fall upon my hungry lips, 
As loving hands, caress my cheeks. 

Knowing eyes look deep into my soul, 
Searching for my innocence 
That wanders lost and starving 
Inside my darkness.  

Soothing words call forth restrained emotions 
Locked deep within the ravenous confines 
Of my loneliness.  

The sweet aroma of your passion 
Wafts gently into my nose 
And fills my head with the promise 
of your delectable sustenance. 

Do I break my fast 
And ingest your delicious promises 
That entice my hungry senses? 

Do I let my love starved innocents 
Be found by your searching eyes? 

Shall I follow those soothing words 
Straight to the rapturous bounty 
That is your love? 

Or trust those loving hands 
And take hold, 
And be pulled from the dark depths 
Of my loneliness and emotional famine? 

Am I ready 
to feast upon the sumptuous banquet you offer, 
Or has my appetite been lost forever? 

I think I will just taste your passionate kisses
And let my heart decide 
How hungry it really is.
