When Words Cannot Suffice

I sing odes to you

Though you'll never hear

How my lips pine for your taste

How my body longs for your breath .

A mystery you are to me

When you wanted me

When I ran wanton and free.

But now that you caught me in your gilded cage,

What song must I sing

To make you dream of me again?

The slightest graze of your fingers

Burn me endlessly.

Your gaze strip me unbearably

My heart you had taken completely.

Now I shiver in this palace you built me

Walls of glass, my couches draped with silk.

Though the hearth burns with the bluest flames

You have yet to favor me

With a complete minute

Of you and I

Alone.
