Poetry: Desire

Should I whisper, speak softly in your ear?
Should I tell you words only you should hear?

Or should I mute my voice and never say a word?
Should I love you silently so no one can be hurt?

Should I touch you, with fingers hot as fire . . .
Should I tempt you, fill you with desire?

Or should I stand back and love you from afar. . .
Should I keep my distance so I don't change who you are?

Should I kiss you, with lips made of velvet. . .
Should I keep you in my arms, until your heart is melted?

Or should I leave you all alone and never touch your skin. . .
Should I put out the flame before the fire begins?

    For love is not the feeling

    Blank in my mind
    A midnight canvas
    I paint her mouth
    In my dreams

    Familiar infidelity
    Strokes of fire
    As I come apart
    At the seams

    And
