A Poem

The Other

Ecstacy
Overcoming me
Finally

I lay in the calm
Feel the glow . . .

He doesn't know
The storm brewing
The other . . .

Lingers in the depths of my mind
Pulls on my body
Drags me down
Willingly
I sink into
the realm of the other
Blissfully
skin's memory overtaking me
lips quivering

Begging, pleading
for deliverance
Just once
Again

Until I return
to the world that I've chosen
and hide the storm
of desire
in my eyes
