touch of an old soul

your words cover my skin,
trapping a small beating creature
beneath my breasts,
between my ribs,
and dear god this owes nothing to lust,
less to thighs gone to jelly,
and i cannot even imagine
the surrender I know you would demand,
oh I fear the hand touch of your soul,
that would slide unbidden
into this skin like so much smoke,
and force the creature out of me
that once danced beneath you
in another skin.

I have no idea, not an inkling
what of you she fears,
I only know that when you speak,
she twists inside my belly
half leaning toward you in delight,
half pulling away in fear.
And if you were deep in me,
there would be nowhere
for my sweet revenent to hide,
because their is no bit of my body,
no taste,
no place that you will not plumb,
searching for the old soul
who lies asleep within me,
the old soul you wake
an inch at a time,
determined that THIS time,
you will not walk alone to Valhalla,
that this time,
I will give all I promised
when last I danced my hips
against the surging truth
of every man
you have ever been.
