turn the tide

He came in quite unexpectedly
Slowly opening the door of desire
Finding my well-closeted passion
Entangled in life’s barbed wire.

He gently coaxed out forgotten cravings
Setting my jailed heart afloat
Out onto an ocean of big love with
Sensual breezes powering my lifeboat.

He released the abandoned sensations
Of my passion once denied.
Now forever in his tender care
Drifting along together on a euphoric tide.
