In Response to “You Asked…”

This is in response to Shidonae’s poem You Asked…

I need to tear at your flesh
and breathe in your gasp
as my talons sink into you

I need to pull at your hair
and lose myself in your eyes
as I drink blood from your lips

I need you to give to me,
releas­ing every­thing that you are
as I warm myself by your beat­ing heart

I need you to sur­ren­der to me,
relin­quish­ing every­thing that mat­ters
as I dive deeper inside your soul

Your tears, your cries, your shud­ders;
the only things that mat­ter,
the only things that anchor me,
the only things that soothe me

I need you to be the lens through which I focus,
find­ing pur­pose in your sub­mis­sion
as I guide you deeper into yourself

I need you soft, pli­able, and yield­ing,
lost in me, lost in what we cre­ate as I use you;
my tool, my work of art, my freedom
