(This rather simplistic poem is for all the men that I have loved,
lusted after, and lost. They know who they are. I want to thank you for
the lessons that you taught me. I won't forget.)

I was so drawn to
your strength, your words
so self-assured
as that knowing smile
played across your lips
simple truth

Redemption lingered
in your bright eyes
as their stare
caressed all of my curves
impassioned lust
such is saving grace

My affection
the fire in my touch
was my gift to you
the very moment
that our lips met
I was yours
boundaries crossed

Brought to life
by the need
dancing within the flames
as friends and lovers
inspired artistry
fulfilled

Your hands, my salvation

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Lupar, in the year 386 AF.
