Come Out and Play
The high priestess

Let me see your face,
Come out in the rain, come, let us play,
I'd like to see you smile, maybe even blush,
Let me see those bunny teeth.
I'd like to feel you short of breath, breathing slow and fast, deep and relaxed,
In the tapestry of desire, I long to witness my beloved's naked beauty unfold.
When you turn and twirl, swaying to the nocturnal chimes,
Within the realms of my musings, no night like this has ever been conceived.
I can only but imagine; fun, maybe, mild and soft like the silky light of the moon,
Anticipation, want, desire what would you instead pick for me, my lady,
It is all delight and ecstasy, I wonder which flavor it is for you,
I only want to, so don't turn me down, hot and dry like the Summer monsoons.
Reveal yourself and give me your love, let your heart be mine for me own,
To the left one I'd whisper, I will be waiting,
The other, punch a golden stud, be there when I call
I'd never raise my tone, nor mock, nor joke to scorn,
It is not for me to vex you, nor spook you,
Fly, like a kite come to rest on Sher's shoulder,
Time will come to show you, the strength of what I feel,
Until then, when you come to see me, I can only let you be,
Alone I'm lean, clean like a piece of veal,
I yearn for you to find solace in stillness, allowing the wounds to heal,
Yet I, alas, cannot.

a wonderful soup of words describing one of human most obscure emotions, desire. I love the way the piece kind of wraps around the intricacies of physical intimacy and attraction. Nicely done!
