Ghosts of My Past, Soldier of My Present

Allow me to sing to you my sweetest, sweetest lullaby,

though your ears are virgin to the melody.

I have always hidden

so far from your eyes-my shapely body,

tender heart, and open soul-yet every bit of me

craves

your taste and your touch;

cries out for you before the dawn.

Yet you are never there.

Listen to my voice 

which calls to you, beckoning you closer.

Let the kiss of my softened lips

rain down on you,

and finally bring you home

to me.

Not my best, I admit. Not my favorite either. Not sure what's going on with my writing lately. Just bear with me.

Not one of your best? Well, I disagree. You always have a certain quality about your writing, it's like I'm always pleasantly surprised. This one has a special quality about it. It's obviously sensual, but it's sweet and inviting. your alluring caliber makes me want to read more, as always.
