Whisper

Serenade

Cascade

Velvet

Ethereal

Enigma

Labyrinth

***

You say, "I've placed you on a plinth";

A pedestal I don't deserve.

I'm lost in a labyrinth

Of the feelings you reserve

Just for me.

You say.

But I am not so sure.

I'm not Venus,

(Just a girl)

But I am fly-trapped.

*

You whisper to me sweetness

That I can barely taste;

A serenade of saccharine,

Sugar syrupy cascade.

I want to believe the velvet

That ripples from your mouth

But I don't know the code:

I need Enigma to work you out.

Maybe.

I don't know.

I want to believe.

*

I want to be a woman,

A partner and a wife.

I'm not a muse, a plan,

A stimulation device.

I'm real! Feel me!

Solid, true and present.

Not a concept, an ethereal being

But me.

See me, love me,

Delight in me.

Not what you think I am

To you.
