promise

unmistakable packaging
that has my every desire written all over you
you enter the crowded room
and it takes a collective breath
whilst I hold mine
hoping that you are
not some apparition from a fantasy
but no, as you sear my soul
with that lustful stare
walking toward me
all eyes seemingly held by your sway
women turning green with envy
as their men leer red with lust
my heart burns with
the want of you
my own eyes hunger for you
as if they can taste
the sweet softness of your thighs
and my mind need not
undress you for in it
I am already burning inside you
hardened desire for
your liquid fire
as I start slipping into darkness
the heated paradise of your wanton
kisses as you mark me yours
as my lips coax your honeyed sighs
as my senses are consumed
with meeting your rapacious appetite
as I fill you with the passion
you have claimed as
your right to ecstasy...
then,
you reach me, all eyes
still upon you
hello, darling
you are stunning tonight
and I taste the promise of
fulfillment upon your first kiss
