Pin Me Slowly

Danaid by August Rodin — ‘Danaid’, by August Rodin

I want you to move in slowly,
To pin me
With hot and deep desire.
Wrap me in liquid fire.
Then I shall take my turn,
and coax from your heart
Grateful prayers to
the wisdom of a loving god.

  I appreciate your kind words. The short ones can be hard, and in fact I have 6-7 versions of this one. But I keep coming back to the simple honesty of intimacy and it seems ok. 😘
