First Installment

You're new and I don't know what to do with you.

Sometimes things just fall into place,

Belgin lace, stitched with gentle grace,

but not you, you're still a little hard to trace.



Sometimes you offer up your soul, but I don't know.

I think what a waste, all this haste,

devouring everything on your plate...

without savoring the taste.



Before I hang my hopes inside your closet,

I need reassurance that your door swings both ways.

No need to be cloaked in a haze,

wandering through your maze, might be just a phase.



I don't require need.  Just desire stokes my fire.

Combustion born of familiarity.

Do you covet me, or my mystery?

We shall see, we shall see...
