Nyctophobia

Each night I wake in the same dream and I scream into the darkness I hear your footsteps following me I see your shadows haunting me I feel you On a starless night in the swarthy heat the streets are empty in the godless hours and the chase is on I sense you closing in behind me so close I can smell the sweetness of your perfume In a brief glance, I see your outline a brief moment to forget the pleasure of your tongue shattering my sinews as you touch me and I scream again Fear and pleasure mingle with the destructive desire of my senses as your hands caress over me slow and intense and your kiss silences my cry My hushed mouth amusing your tongue as your body slides into place and our minds are in fusion where words have no meaning as you entice me to reach beyond the gates of my own limitation to utter the words at your command say it, say it mister and in a whisper I say ‘I love you’ © JG Farmer 2017 Form: Free Verse
