Sonnet 85 – Surrender

Surrender yourself to our love once more.
Rest your ankle on my shoulder while I
massage your calf with hands and mouth.  Let your
fear wash through you:  feel it flow far away

as my desire grows, enfolds us both in
our only true home.  Sit in my lap and
let our eyes meet – they’ll hold such sweet passion
suspended between us that no demand

could be denied.  Move with me as you move
me; make me mad to free you.  Hold me, lead
me on to promises that only love
can keep.  Know that I want you, that I need

to please you as no other ever has
or will.  Don’t let us long for “never was”.
