Anything

It's nights like this
that make me want you,
even as this,
even how we stand, apart.
It's nights like this
that make me surround
your ghost in aphrodisiac,
desire in distance,
more than the apple,
more than the peach.

Any tale can be told,
any action taken,
any touch granted.
But for all your words,
I wonder--
do you dare? do you dare?
on nights like this,
could you? are you willing
to hand over
more than just the price?
On nights like this,
I wait, satisfied by more
than just the thought of you.
