Boy Don't You Know?

A message to men out there

No boy, don't you understand?
I hunger not for your kisses,
Face to Face,
Lip to Lip,
Breath to Breath,
Drinking in and Drunk.

No boy, don't you understand?
I desire the way your body kisses,
Cheek to Neck,
Hip to Hip,
Chest to Breast,
Sinking in and Sunk.

Boy, little boy, don't you know?
A smothered bud will never grow?
Boy, you love me too heavily,
You show all your cards too readily,
Learn to tease out our time,
Learn the beauty of heat that burns slow!

Yes boy, one day you'll understand,
A woman is a complicated thing.
Lover and Friend,
Mother and Child,
Desired and Desiring.

Yes boy, I'll teach you how.
How to have almost all of me.
For there will always be something we each hide.
Pulse to Beat,
Thought and Voice,
Music and Soul,
Loved and Loving.
