Thirst For You

I see the shadows
in your eyes like
fleeting ghosts,
it is enough to break
my heart, I touch
your face with trembling
fingers.

Your lips sultry,
yet firm, begging
without a word
while affecting indifference
which is irresistible,
leaving me hungering
for a lingering
taste.

You are roughened
to the touch,
as sandpaper smoothing
my hardened edges,
and breathtakingly
tender so you must
k
