Sweet Daemon

05 Dec 1999

Sweet daemon, come disturb my rest
whisper touch upon my soul
erotic imaginings awaken my senses
succumbing to the sensuous susurration of your breath
I am yours –
You conquer me
	valiant knight armored in gleaming metal
	all chivalrous courage and gallant valor
	heroic scars mapped out upon my body
	and battles conquered in my bed
You seduce me
	rugged strength in broadest shoulders
	mountain-solid and as tall
	brutal humor and barbarous indifference
	gothic demeanor
	thrusting your power and slaying my soul
You come to me
	cloaked in dreams of protection
	seducer of children
	love of my life
	you lay my hand upon your passion
	and press my body against a woman’s breasts
I am more yours now
in this long absence, passage of years
then ever I was in our past
confused youth and guilty pleasure –
Face to face with that daemon
I smile
and welcome you home to my heart –
