Intangible Taste

The butterfly barricade crumbled to dust

And so did the polished rose glass windows

Longing painted some vivid stains  

In an empty bed, drenched with sorrows.

Cloaked in shadows I watched you, afraid.

But, I wanted to know your taste

The night turns dark, I like awake

Sensing your movements, a dangerous grace

Beneath fingertips, like velvet

Upon lips and limbs, in fiery dance

In a night of touch, with you as muse

And the songs I collected like prayers,

Let me offer them, in servitude

Beside your altar, I contemplate

Should I hold my breath, should I wait?

The consuming need won't die away

As I crave for you like one depraved

I lie in suffering, enslaved.
