Time and attention

she seeks to read

a lifetime of our favorite books. 

The stories she likes

are the rough gentle types

where a strong hand 

grabs and takes control,

but only while in bed. 

She swears she’s never sworn

never before had she truly felt

until a late night evening storm. 

The joy of lust

that wanting need

happiest while in suspense

aching for that cherished hug. 

She’s lovely, yet once again

she finds herself

here walking amongst us,

lost without her wings. 

So as she searches

and she looks, 

I can promise her,

that until she’s satisfied

I’ll forever read for her

all our favorite books.
