Sanctuary

Sanctuary

 

     
 

Sanctuary

Sister of sorrow, cease senseless striving -
  Unspoken agonies meditated
Vainly against inner want, arriving
  Long last in yearning unmitigated.
Renounce all proud vows of humility -
  Vying with time, naked in loneliness,
Frigid lies alone to veil fading youth.
  Deny no more moral futility.
Woman, of love and lust-longing confess!
  Fast cloister your heart in actions of truth.

Gaze unashamed upon my countenance.
  Relinquish your ear to my silver tongue.
Repose in affection’s exquisite trance;
  This courtship on lips and fingertips sung.
Cast your raiment aside at my kiss.
  Bare your bosom to my gentle design.
Touch me and let desire set you free.
  In a sanctuary of sensual bliss,
Together we will drink of rapture’s wine,
  Until we are giddy with revelry!

~ Daniel F Mitchell
