I am as violent as roses
all beauty and blood
torn by thorns,
that bear down on my flesh.

Next to his body, and lips,
I crave his first touch,
to open myself to him,
the wait of a lover wanting.

I wilt in his presence,
with no awareness of objects.
Only his scent surrounds me,
and the tapestry of our silence.
