Desire for you

Desire for You
I could wrap you around me like a robe
A vestment for my imperial soul.
Resplendent in your closeness I could probe
the many hidden parts that make the whole.
Then tasting you like expensive liquor,
guzzling you like water in summer heat,
Tasting the savory, sweet, salty, bitter
of you, my indulgent, favorite treat.
If you could only dangle on my chain
and come to my shine like moth to light
and endure, just briefly, my moment of pain
and follow me blindly through this night.
Taking our fill, like our lungs full of air,
we’d fill with each other and love that we share.
