Will You
By Stacy Maddox


If I come to you soft and slow
Will you
Covet me in your warm arms
In tonight's full moonglow

I am vulnerable, supple, desirous
Will you
Dance with me here and now
For a moment in candlelight

Shadows entangled on silent walls
Will you
Kiss my lips with all-consuming passion
Surrendering your body and soul

Ready for a touch from your hands
Will you
Caress my skin with oily fingertips
Stoking smoldering flames higher

Neverending, always a new beginning
Will you
Lead me to our secluded hideaway
Surrounded only by each other

You speak words of love
Will you
Accept an open invitation
To etch our names through stars.
