Nibbling

I am half done,
sharp pains accentuated
by the need
of unmet expectations.
Knowing the result of
justatouch
could render me
undone.

A gamble, this with you,
when waking
in the blackness of morn.
Too early to sorrow,
too late behind these eyes
to mask the fantasy,
remembering.

You leave me nibbles,
steal away purpose,
a harvest yet to be.

These nakedthoughts
gentled enough
to part these lips in answer,
a pretense of substance
beyond the promise.

"Shame on me"
these thoughts,
banking on tomorrow,
leading you on...
the getting use to me
the desired result.

Thank you Lee...I guess one does have to nibble a little at a time to get the "full effect/affect/ion" of another.

This leaves me wanting more....to see where the nibbling goes...I like the analogy.
