Featherlight touches across oiled skin
\nCandlelight, conversation and love songs
\nSexy come-on\u2019s and come-hither games
\nThe give and take society demands
\nLovers play to get ahead
\nOne with the other and both together
\nDo \u2018naught but raise my ire and temper<\/p>\n
It is not a crooning country song
\nNor hyped up rap with a solid bass beat
\nAnd it is certainly not the thought of sliding
\nBetween cold expensive satin sheets
\nThese things will only irritate me
\nUse these to catch another\u2019s eye<\/p>\n
Deep into this woman\u2019s soul
\nA primal energy dwells
\nSomething dark, not evil
\nYearns for more than pretty words
\nDiamond rings or tall good looks
\nThe need is great the call is fierce<\/p>\n
Where then is the one to give
\nWhat this one needs to live, to breathe, to let go
\nWhere is the blackness to my dark
\nThe one who needs what I can give
\nThe one who gives what \u2018ere I crave
\nAm I the only one<\/p>\n
The only one who shuns those
\nPerceived as weak and unworthy
\nThe only one who starves for the strong hand
\nThe piercing eye and the knowing smile
\nOf the one who sees who I am,
\nWhat I am<\/p>\n
This is my normal, it is how I\u2019m made
\nIt is the core of me, the essence of the woman inside
\nMy body shivers, my hands contract
\nAt the thought of your hard contact
\nThe brush of your hand at my throat
\nCause places not mentionable to coat<\/p>\n
Find me then, I know you\u2019re there
\nI just can\u2019t find you anywhere
\nWe are the same, you and I
\nSome day I hope that you will see
\nThat I am for you as normal as you are for me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
