Peeping Tom to Lady G.
Why should I not desire to hold you in the dark?
To trace, moon lit, the line from shoulder down to hip,
to leave my lonely fears behind,
a winter coat now summer’s here.
Why should I not desire to make you smile
for me, and me alone; to see you naked,
taste the salt truth of your beauty,
share your body’s unembarrassed joy.
Why should I not desire to know your secret heart:
the self you run from in the name of duty?
Oh lady, with all reverence,
why should I not desire to hold you in the dark?
