her voice

i say
make love to me
and take me from this suffocating place

stand and watch me
see how i stagger to the bed
and fall upon it
i kick the pillows to the floor
because i want every inch of the mattress
to know what it is i feel
it knows me already
for it holds many of my tears

i have tossed to and fro, eve after eve
silently screaming for ease of an ache
that trembles my bones
i have laid bare in the dark
the moonlight peeking through
to see what woman howls wildly
i have become an animal
caged in mild madness and hot desire

consume me with ubiquitous kissing
until the hurt camouflages my pain
my pores speak aloud
they say boldly....fill me
make me something changed
unlike any likeness of before
i want to know another me
one that could be
if i knew the savory sting of untamed love
all of its heart and appendages
wrapped around my full bodied need
i hold a passion
which is tethered to caution i wish set free
i want my vulnerability eaten savagely
by an appetite for me and me alone

i am not enough alone
hidden
laying at waste in the dark
set sunlight on me in shroud
bring me into liberty


in this moment i say, hear me
listen again as i say,
make love to me
