oh, let me ... I thirst for you like the dark desert for rain ... thoughts of your soft places dance on my tongue like sour candy, saturating my mouth ... and my imaginings. I have no reward without your plea ... I am but clay in silence, yet when your needs moan my name, I am made steel, unceasing. breathe me your appetites ... your craves and your cries are my only charge ... desire has but to trickle off your lips, to make it so, but please, make it so ... for I am moonstruck and madness, until I partake of the sweet, tangy ambrosia that steams and stirs deep inside ... you. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Hunger" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Judge & Sponsor.

Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful and as always, your pen writes in the language of kings through a naturally flowing ink.
