She wrote her mistress
words from the depth
of her hungry heart
she wrote for and
about her
every time the desire
to be desired overpowered
her will to be still

she wrote about
sexuality and
sensuality
she wrote about
uncontrolled lust
and the ultimate trust
about love that was
so forbidden
that she locked it
inside her heart
to keep it hidden

She gave her mistress
a gift that she had
never given to anyone
her naked words in print
written in such hunger
that She would never doubt
she was the One
who gave birth to fire
every time they touched
intoxicated by desire
