Fantastic Restraint

Only in darkness
does this poem feel
her eyes are opened
cooking a meal

choose
the loud sound
of fantasy unreal
or the quiet arousal
of increasing breaths
gnawing away restraint
slowly the steps get taint
things of consequence taught
spend fighting night only in arms
unholy hell slaughter tortures flesh
war and battle slumbers arrests kisses
till paradise comes

wish only for finger tip
palms post traumatic stress
bonding boundaries mapped for life
fantasy
rip the arrow from the heart
only love reaps the above rewards
suddenly in freedom and cool air calming
like a fever broke still
no longer a heart
just a dream
a fantasy
she is
here
and serves our meal.
