You are a beautiful woman in a room of candles, <br />The aroma of jasmine drifts from the terrace, <br />I’ll sleep with you beneath the stars <br />And I’ll unlatch the shoes from your feet, <br />There is no place upon your small body <br />I would ever consider too undignified to kiss. <br /> <br />Loneliness has been the dark lens <br />Coloring your perceptions, <br />You have left your prayers unspoken <br />In loveless childhood sanctuaries <br />Violated by the cruel <br />Who taught you through violence and abuse <br />You can only trust yourself. <br /> <br />It is understood, I can’t keep you, <br />You have no desire for a second husband, <br />Even the most pleasing lovers can become brutes, <br />But for now I will romance your mind <br />And learn to delicately touch your mouth, <br />And you will remember me later <br />When we are both lost again in separate jungles.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-again-in-separate-jungles/
