When I Close My Eyes

If I tell you What I see When I close my eyes Will you make it real for me? For only when I close my eyes Do I then own peace Shrouded dreams excite to life And achings finally cease A heart’s chaotic anguish A body’s inflamed desires Relentless tortuous passions Temperance long expired If only for a moment I cannot seem to breathe Almost fevered by the warmth That hastens over me Commanded by the hunger Stripped of all control Tempted lips finally meet In time with naked souls Quaking with savage arousal Violated yet set free Pounded by a sudden rage Of untamed waves of ecstasy But then my eyes are open And yearning soon returns Quiet prisoner to inhibition Blistered by what does not burn So if I tell you What I see When I close my eyes Will you make it real for me?
