Though others beg my indulgence,
flaunting a poor excuse for temptation,
I would rather want him
from afar,
drown myself in the liquid of his absence

sit stuck in traffic
oozing sticky heat
on a seat of plush velour
immersed in visions
of bronzed sculptures
erected in my honor

swell like overripe fruit
when his mental strokes
touch me there,
take me there
freshly juiced at his command
leaving droplets to stain
his lips

conjure him deep within flesh
never kissed by sun�s rays
surrender inside to this
simple friction
that becomes our
souls� fusion

listen between his sighs
to songs of we,
until voices of longing
are quieted by our joining

channel his soft, fluid violence
through my own fingertips
possessed by his vibe
mystically connected to his scribe

I would rather want him
exclusively,
desperately from afar.
His absence is more than
any presence could ever hope to be.
