This one is a bit longer than many of my others, though it still seems to fit the general theme. This wasn't written for any particular reason, its just a mid day musing. Also shared one my deviantart.
The Secret
How long have I pined to caress those sanguine lips?
To touch moonlight strands that cascade so gracefully
Oh beauty, oh allure
Tempt not my sinful heart
In truth, a gentle touch is not enough
Desire cannot be so easily slackened
In fantasy, lust is untamed
Secret indecency keeps passion at bay
If only momentarily
Can you see it when I look upon you?
Do eyes betray my discretion?
I am fearful of your answer
Please never learn this truth
Remain close, untouched
To watch from so near has its own excellence
A further distance my heart could not bear
Even still, enticement does not subside
Passions continue unspoken
