You touched me with your warm lips <br /> <br />Brushing them teasingly on my arm <br /> <br />But when I turned you were gone <br /> <br />An apparition blown in by coldwind <br /> <br />Without substance, without soul <br /> <br />Wishing for a closer encounter <br /> <br />Raced down the shore, bare feet <br /> <br />Cut and bled by scraggly stones. <br /> <br /> <br />Flung open heart's door moons ago <br /> <br />Exposed myself to the wind and sun <br /> <br />Softened my skin with sweet wine <br /> <br />Should you wish to drink take my arm <br /> <br />Smell fragrance of last night's caress <br /> <br />Thinking you will unsheathe the sword <br /> <br />Spent a fortune on musk and jasmine <br /> <br />Filled up tub, ravenously drenched myself. <br /> <br /> <br />But my midnight lover, you spent time <br /> <br />In those forbidden tracks with hobos <br /> <br />Seeking pleasures beyond my imagination <br /> <br />If you profess to be adequate, why shield <br /> <br />Just a query whispered to me by old hags <br /> <br />Witches of the North spearing me to pieces <br /> <br />Taking away the little pleasure of a dream <br /> <br />A man so adept he makes me struggle to breathe.<br /><br />Doris Cornago<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/midnight-lover-2/
