Fire of Desire

Fire of Desire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Held as a willing captive to my erotic desires, there are no boundaries that either you or I 
set or require
Through out the seemingly endless night I sate my olympian desire held in check for so long 
until now
I apologize as you learn that sometime what sleeps is for reasons good and yet pain and 
pleasure mingles 
As you wantonly submit yourself in all ways to my needs such a tender and long chaste 
woman's willing flesh
Mere minutes before the morning comes you leave me so very reluctantly as the knowledge 
Of the forbidden passions unleashed by my touch and the burning yearning chasm awakened 
By my gentle precise kiss is now a thing for which you will crave eternally
Understand one thing, what transpired between you and I was far from pure yet so very 
natural 
Even more so it was carnal and primal, the animal instinct will now and always burn 
For my touch like a fire deep inside you longing into the sleepless night
I stop you from making promises and rash decisions after you have learned firsthand 
That the whispers of my gift and the status of my love tools were not even remotely 
exaggerated
You and I both had a destined desire from the first time our eyes danced in the dim dining 
rooms light
And you already know that I am not to be possessed, only briefly tasted 
So return to the comfort and security you chose long before you ever saw me 
He's at home and he knows that I am now and forever your blessing and curse 
For you will many times tell the tale as the chosen few have before you 
About the time you made love to me as you say; No it's not a lie it really happened 
Ask him he'll tell you, and no he's not an icon, just a man larger than life and powerful 
Beautiful is how he made me feel, he lit this fire inside me 
And it burns so bright and deeply into the night.
