My desires are not entwined like some complex labyrinth vine,
for the other day when we met tete-a-tete
how I wish I could hold your hand
to feel your ethereal touch
and then you would gently firm your grip
holding the belly of my palm
like you possess me for a lifetime
and in that trice you would make me sway in your stupor
and then maybe you would crack open the guards you were holding thus far,
allowing me to decipher the enigma called you
