Sanctuary

Take this
my kiss
so blissfully illicit
my forbidden lips that whisper
what only you may hear

Take this touch
let it linger
every secret probing finger
slinking, stirring in your most
clandestine places

So delicious, surreptitious,
take my heart, my furtive lover,
hide it deep, so deep within
your warmest sanctuary.
No one else shall know,
nor feel it beating, beating, beating.
You alone
will sense the cadence
of my heart's covert vibration,

and my silent breast
will remember the pulse
until we meet
again
