Her Spinning Head

His words of affection
make her weak
breathless
speechless

he says she
reminds him of an angel
if only he knew the truth
if only he saw the visions
stretching themselves
along the screen of her mind
they all
include him
and angelic is the last word
used to describe them

She is determined to use restraint
for now
to bind her tongue and
stifle each moan
that collects in the back of her throat
when he holds her near
light touches her neck
sprinkles a kiss on her cheek
bestows a special smile
that lingers on his face
at the sight of her

He calls her an angel
but he knows
is intrigued
understands the magnitude of
her desire
fully comprehends that her spinning head
is the result of his
carefully orchestrated plan
