Invitations

29 Jan 99

I saw you looking
With intense eyes and slight smile
As if you would devour me
Bit by bit.
I will tell you with knowing smile
And thoughtful eyes
That I know your intent 
And agree
Yet will keep my actions subdued
And my desire in line
For I see your golden bands
And unspoken commitment.
I do not need more
Than this acknowledgement.
You need not speak to me
In veiled innuendo
Nor subtle voice of desire
For I see your eyes
And that is all that I need.
I will not approach your desire
Nor hold your intent in my hands,
For I must respect your golden chains
That ball-and-chain you to another.
