Speak No Regrets

26 Feb 2001

Warm whispers in my ear
of friendship, work and sex
	I hear lust panting

I shall open these arms and
with careful precision
this body
to the freedom in your voice
	I have made my decisions

You woo me with words
eclectic and eloquent
and caress the battered soul
with understanding
	How can I turn away?

I shall allow you what you wish
as your handcuffed heart
     gold rings
          and surging body
slip into my bed
	Speak no regrets

This night, only this night

Kindred soul
you speak of same
and wonder as I do
	why

Yet, I will only whisper
pant desire across your chest
accept my decisions
answer the questions your body asks
and turn toward this night
my kindred spirit
	I shall speak no regrets
