My Body

My body trembles.
Is this passion just lust?
Or could it be the love
It so resembles?
My body trembles.

My body quivers.
I wait, tensed, for the touch,
For the kiss that sends
Cascading ripples of little shivers.
My body quivers.

My body aches.
The sweet release, so long in coming
Pulls my body taut;
Shattering in the time it takes.
My body aches.

My body: prone.
Relief has come and gone
I’m left, naked and alone
The release was all my own.
My body. Prone.
