MIRAGE OF DESIRE

I have heard thy voice these many nights,
Vague beckning with promise of delights
I dare not even hope to know.

They slender arms with their soft, lithe strength
Seemed wrapped about me until at length
I slept within their precious fold.

The satin feel of they vibrant breast
Bought anew that delcious unrest
Which sated my soul once before.

And when I begged for thy lips' moist fire
Each vein pushed once again with desire
To mold they blest being to mine.

But as I stretched my arms to enfold thee,
My arms with their youth meant to hold thee,
Thou hadst vanished - mirage of desire.
