A Constant Ache

A Constant Ache

what truly tasty secrets wait

entombed within your chest

enshrined with golden filigree

on call at your behest

within your mind and heart they rove

they're free to roam at will

they help you to live...excite again

and make your heart race, still

such sinful pleasures here interred

unmitigated love

endear like none before or since

you fit him like a glove

these memories incredible...

that one amid the crowd

he whispers in your ear...you thrill...

you answer…moan aloud!

you hold onto him ‘til you're through

you love until you're spent

you touch your fingers where he’s been

of nothing you repent.

this love so unbelievable

you'd from the rooftops scream

your secret freed for all to see

no longer just a dream.

I'm reading comments above - no one tired of falling into your dreams of love, romance and desire. Who could resist? I live it; those who do not, feel it in your words wrap around their hearts.

To me, this is the ultimate male fantasy--about female fantasy. Men want to think that their love object has a deeply sexual being and has ideal, intense sensual, and romantic fantasies. A man wants to think a woman participates in such a fantasy so that he may have the possibility of being a participant in its reality. From whose ever viewpoint, well done.

stephen berwaldt Feb 9, 2013, 10:20am UTC

I think this is fantasy for some, but glad for others, this is a blissful reality... I believe, if we assign fantasy ideal on a scale from one to ten, one being completely casual and ten being completely devotional, men are comfortable between one and seven or eight, and women occupy the emotional high ground from four to ten and perhaps beyond! Where the two overlap is a nexus of astounding import... What I'm meaning is there is a common enjoyment and comfort level where our perceptions and desires for love overlap.
My opinion only.
