Just As You Intended

Just as you intended…

Your words wash over me in waves, a soft caress

soothing

As my soul relaxes, I answer your request to look inside,

at the wonder of you,

and am blinded by strobe-like flashes

of your hunger

of your need

of your brilliant capacity for love.

I ride the crest, luxuriating in your warmth,

until, longing for more, I turn to you

and sink inside your silent void.

Cacophonous cadence

As stealthily as you brought her, you spirited her away

You never hid, never shied

You came in the front door and attacked me with words; soft words, sharp words, words that flowed with cacophonous cadence, words that drew breath from me even as they poured emotion into me

You sang a discordant song and dared me to join in the chorus,

and I sang, without accompaniment, a song I had never sung before

and as I became comfortable with the melody, you angrily changed keys.

The racket was deafening, and I responded in kind.

You answered with silence, feigning defeat

and you took her with you

my Muse.
