Her, not Him

Her, not Him

she radiates joy - a starlight dervish dance
the trespassing tree … uprooted - yields to

Venusian garden bud, sprouting
a fresh flower, blooming
Her, not Him

Her, not Him

on my dream bed, skirted, seated, sheer hosed,
long legs freshly teasing

unshackled, new curves cleaving
ivory sleek, virgin-shorn thighs trembling,
Her, not Him

Her, not Him

in my night castles, in my dream sheets, silk bed curtains
her writhing, screaming, pleading – naked sweat, our thundered hearts beating

reality rises - unrequited affections,
those lip glossed smiles for HER,

not HIM

Her, not Him
Her, not

Me.
