I’m Greedy To Know
Date: November 20,2015

Oh, how I long for him
That shadow that haunts my dreams
He journeys on the wings of darkness
A stranger, calling to me in whispers
He is a bell chiming just past midnight
Awakening me to the call of his maddening desires
He is fire to boil my blood
An illusion too hot to hold in my naïve reality
He is a flame, a sultry, hot flame,
Burning unspeakable passions into my soul
He exudes a wantonness that’s strange to me
Imbuing me with his frenzy,
With his insatiable appetite for things wicked
He is a snake, coiling around my hunger
Strangling my sense of decency and reserve
I am undone, held breathless beneath his persuasion
I am eager to be the vessel, a conduit for his rage
My weaknesses, he woos with lustful intention
And I thirst for the mysteries of his appetite
He is darkness, and carnal proclivities
And I…greedy to know his secrets
