FOR MY TIGRESS

 Crumpled satin sheets,

Tip toeing on bare feet,

 She kisses me gently,

 & heads for the door quietly.

 I grab her hand and pull her back,

 Her eyes, joy they lack,

 I hug her and kiss her gently on the ear,

 & trickles down her face a single tear.

 It’s been fun she says,

 But now I cannot stay,

 I look at her innocent face,

As if making a memory no one could ever erase.

 I am kissing her,

But still I am missing her,

Her kisses turn passionate,

 & we get drawn towards each other as if by mandate.

 I don’t know if anyone is above,

But I pray for him to protect my love,

Life is as rough as clay,

But I wish she would stay.

 Holding her in my arms tight,

The clock struck midnight,

 I smell her fragrance one last time,

And I am left speechless as a mime.
