Drowning in the Known and Needed

Twists and curls of desire's smoky
Existence lay in your eyes
If I gaze too long lust rips at my reason
And dangerous longings walk their fingers
Along the tender spine of my resistance
Too many sideways glances have made me obvious
Alowing you to control me
With the whip of you words
A timeless romantic I see only
The lazy flicker of passion's fire
And ignore the constant icyness
Of common sense
We sit as if we always were
Never falling back nor floating forward
Two trapped butterflies with wings broken
By the strictest warnings of decency
Drowning in the murky gray waters
Of the known and needed
