Analysis of Need and Desire
The scene is set, anticipation saturates the air
Skin and heart
On sheet and sleeve, vulnerable and bare
Tips of fingers, tips of tongue
Touch and taste, exploring each rung
Breath and pulse quicken as pleasure begs to peak
Fingers and souls interlaced in throes of passion
Need and desire initialized in depths of this moment we seek
