Undesirable Binds of Intimacy
You will never know what enigmas hibernate
enshrined inside of me or the essence
of beauty that dwells within.
All you see is a voracious male toxin
and gratification when you look at me.
An obsession commands you
and complicates your mind
consuming you alive.
My skin may be earmarked
by your hands and lips
but my roots shall lay
dormant and unpolluted
by you or anyone else.
I may play the devouring lover
and appease your hunger
and lust but never-
will my heart be yours to enslave.
I will never lay down any stipulations
or express words of love
for I am lifeless and camouflaging-
restricted within.
You will never know more-
than I choose to divulge
in the hands of a lover-
or a night like this.
