Today's prompt at #wtwrites is to write about hunger.
Here is some of my thought process:
The first line is what came to me first. After creating the 1st 'thought,' the form revealed itself as 5 line stanzas, the first sentence posing a problem, and the second providing an answer. The strikeouts are removals, and the underlines are phrases added, usually to replace something else.
You are not chocolate cake
to be pushed back across a table
with a polite demur.
Resistance to you
requires a different kind of will power resolve.
Fingertips are dangerous,
lips lie, a lingering look
risks intimacy
My satisfaction
does not require your One’s eyes to be open.
Outright denial is not an option
But concealing the heart
Provides an alibi.
Call it cowardice, or call it will power
The result is the same.
Finished, though perhaps not the final edit:
Is resistance futile?
You are not chocolate cake
to slide back across a table
with a polite demur.
Resistance to you
requires a different kind of resolve.
Fingertips are dangerous,

My satisfaction
does not require your eyes to be open.

Call it cowardice, or call it will power
the result is the same.
