You even Sang to Me

Begging at the feet of love's jury
you pine for more than one could
give a poor, pathetic excuse for a
compassionate lover who takes and
takes and takes everything sacred
all the while never giving the
other the pleasure of knowing and
feeling you totally succumb to
the glory and passion of one night's
power and elegance that throws night's
sky into day and wraps me in your arms.

I shall not give you a taste of these
amazing mouth kisses because you will
succeed in ripping from me the very dignity
that our moment did produce during what
seemed to be an eternity's dance of desire
on crisp sheets with lavender scents mixed
in musk and sweat and water and trust
of what I knew had to be the final gasp
and execution of one woman pausing, to
release all functional control and
begin the process of loving another.
