This Intruder Named Desire

This Intruder Named Desire


Are you a part of my sovereignty 

or another ego entrapment of my heart?

I’ve been co-writing cowardness with tremorous themes of timidness 

A high-rise downward spiral designated from the start 

to lose all restraints to your uninhibited arms…


Is it sinful to abandon the prose previously ascribed to my soul?

White lies beneath vulnerable eyes 

prove more venomous than previously known

You creep in passionate cravings 

around the vestiges of my partially opened heart

I’m dissolving this intruder named desire 

yet you stalk her with such honestly intentioned perfected art…
