Abyss

03 Nov 99

Looking into the abyss, I find my character -
strong, content and sensual.


Rediscovering this creature, I am amazed.


This man approaches me
golden bands glittering his commitment
and pulls my body into his seduction
as I stumble upon my desire.
Whispering my fulfillment into my ear
strong arms enfolding my lonliness
I tremble my denial.
It is only my knowledge of his wife
dear friend and peer
that stops my hand from grasping satisfaction
over and over
as I welcome talented hands
mouth of desire
and wicked fulfillment.
Yet, I stumbled away from this temptation 
claimed my soul back from sin
and knew myself as stronger.
If I should be approached again:
wife pressing breasts to mine
husband kissing my senses into dust
and I melting into their separate embraces,
I may not walk away.
