_____by La Poetess

I want to hear you say the words
the deepest desires of your heart
No, you may not whisper them in my ear
or coyly against my mouth you must say them
strong and bold
look me in the eye like a grown woman
and tell me what you want
No more little gurl games
fit for heterosexual play
You must tell me your wishes
that I may grant them
Do not lower your tone or your eyes in shame
or look nervously about us
I want to feel the strong breath of your desire
in confidence
wax poetic for me about the thoughts unsaid
among decent people in polite company
use all the words that nice gurls don't
use the words that make bad gurls blush
say the words that would make your mother disown you
and perhaps your mother was wrong
perhaps nice gurls do or perhaps real women will
whatever the reason put aside the burden of your gender
and tell me the dark fantasy
that clings to the aft of your heart
where your personal Marquee de Sade resides
Make your words the whips and leather
that bruise and bind the surface of my mind
and leave my imagination pleading, craving
your verbal blows and rewards
you must tell me without a sideways glance or a biting lip
you must tell me
