If I could open
your skin and
hide inside of you
I would.
If merging my mind
and my
body
to you is the only way
to know safety...
then I will.
I want to be there
where you are
so close
that words don't
matter and
the beating of
my heart
beside yours
will tell you everything
I'm afraid to say.

Yes, I'm scared.
I've always been scared.
I rage against fear
with every touch I
give and
recieve.
Pleasure seems to
matter so little
on the cosmic scale
of you and I.

"How can I
tell you
no?"
I want to know
that you are inside
of me always
as I sleep
in a make believe bed.
Dreaming of you there
even when you're not.
"your body and mine lost in their own agenda
entwined in a furry of desperation
minds connecting as though welded together
no release or accepting embrace
just two people lost
in a sea of dreams..."
Thats right baby.
I'm always scared.

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Thanks very much ethome, I didn't originally intend to post this as a separate poem, but, I'm glad I did  

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Well, it certainly is its own poem, and quite deserving of its own space.. Very nice, Saxoness..

Thanks Nan    I could have been totally off-base with my interpretation of Des' poem, but, oh well lol

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
