Heart's Desire

Heart's Desire
by Chayla Hamilton

You know who I am

I am the hunger that awakens you in the middle of the night
whose feeding only leaves you wanting more.
I am the dream that lingers, haunting your sleep
Breathless, and aching to be fulfilled.

I am the crimson hue of the evening sky
Bringing promises of darkness in my wake.
I am the whispering breeze that caresses your skin
The fury that rages beneath the storm.

I am the changing tides of the moonlit sea
drowning your sorrow in my depths
I am the passion that swells within your breast
The quickening of your beating heart.

I am the nymph beneath the crystalline waters
And the beauty of the Goddess, silhouetted.
I am strength and fire, softness and laughter
un contraste de contrastes dans un monde d'illusions.

I am the temptress, the torturess, the liberator
The keeper of the keys to your soul
I am sweet pain, and glorious suffering
I am the promise of absolution to your sins.

I am the heat of the fire, the cold in the ice
rapture and ecstasy and pleasure yet unknown.
I am the answer to the question left unasked
lingering on the tip of your tongue

I am your heart's desire.
