Sleepless Nights

Days go by when I do
not see you
And oh! How time teases
me until I get to see you again!

Meanwhile,
In my agony, I close my eyes
and envision kissing you,
tasting those ruby red lips
and that inviting milky white skin.

My lips tingle with that
phantom kiss!

Ah sweet woman!
No one has ever made me go through
such agony,
such longing
as you have done to me!

At times I feel you torture me so!
Yet, I know you're not at fault
for you do not know my
longing for you.

I ache to touch you
to be with you
Ah, to be yours!

I grow delirious at times
envisioning that you've come to me
Finally!
Ah, my nights are tortured
with that desire so far within
my reach!

Oh, my sweet, sweet woman!
Will these pages forever be burdened
with this secret?
Or will my will overcome my nerves
and reveal my passion?

Alas, my lovely Venus
Only time will tell
