desire

A buttered croissant

smothered in sugary glaze

begging to enter your longing mouth

and invigorate your pleasure-buds.

A turned-down bed

layered with luxuriously soft sheets

beckoning your chilled and weary body

to be wrapped in a carefree cocoon.

A glowing screen

radiating entertainment

into your monotonous life

for mindless escape.

A bottle of ruby wine

elegantly streaming from the neck

into your empty glass

seducing your lusty lips and focused mind

A willing body

standing exposed

reaching and caressing

for your lonely heart.

An empty page

watching and waiting

open to exploration

of your inner self.

An insatiable craving

for fleeting opportunities

to please and satisfy,

but only wanting more.
