Unfulfilled Desires

Secrets buried deep 
bubble up in dreams 
spill out of a boiling 
cauldron of feelings 
setting fire to fantasy 
conjuring up 
steamy scenarios 
lips meeting 
limbs melding
skin fusing 
slaking the thirst 
of parched bodies 

Sated, I set free words 
locked in my heart 
I love you, I say 
They tremble 
on my breath 
their sharp prick
bursts the bubble 

Even in dreams 
you don't tell me 
what I need to hear
