.the Secret Words Poem by Dewald Viljoen

You make me want to write.

Not the safe, friendly words of the light,
But the dark forbidden words of the night.

Slippery, sweaty wet words of lust,
Dark, dangerous words of want.
Wild, passionate words of desire.

Quiet, breathless words that will make you blush,
Words that I will never tell another,
That will burn inside you when I am not there,
And make you long for no other.

Secret words not to be heard by men, and those they crave.
Sacred words that will make you quiver.
Words of love and longing and a soul that’s yours to save
Words that would make you gasp and shiver!

Of all the lines that I write for you,
These are the secret words, my Love.
The words that I will speak only to you,
And hide from men and angels above
