Denial

Lay far from the surface
Beats her thumping heart
Vying for release, freedom to want
Simply what it wants

Freedom in the dark hours
Unveiled she is bare
Artfully she poses, my fingers undress
And beg for redress

She is not who she seems
Unseen her ugly truths
Soaring, we to the highest passions
Making no decisions

Mine until morning
I take her every way
Exhausted we lay in each other’s arms
Til the light of day

Oh gentle dove take flight
In blue skies you roam
Escape this earth, her boundaries denied
Transcends she is home
