Kitty

Falling in love.

I swim in her eyes,

Deep blue as the sea,

Her lips like two petals

To blossom for me.

Skin soft as snow

As it takes me south,

A voice just as sweet

As the taste of her mouth.

I feel when I’m with you

What I did not before:

Dependence that feels safe,

A loud ache for more.

I’ll do what you ask,

What you’re afraid to,

And refuse all else

Just to be close to you.

Please use me, love,

And make your demands;

I’ll always comply

And I’ll never withstand.

Your words are so gentle

I fall to my knees—

You need use no threat

To get what you want from me.
