FIONA DYE
Unknown Me
We kiss when there is no-one else to see
Words saying less than each stray, panting moan
Outside myself, I fear this unknown me.
Your hands invade and claim new territory.
Your arms, a vice, your hips entice me home
We kiss when there is no-one else to see
Our lips confess the sinners we will be
Our conscience lies, completely overthrown
Outside myself, I fear this unknown me
A sugar rush creates dependency
A hunger briefly sated, never gone
We kiss when there is no-one else to see
Shirt, jumper, skirt, are lifted hastily
Replaced more quickly still when we are done
Outside myself, I fear this unknown me
I close my eyes imagine you are free
Desire has swept me to this shore alone
We kiss when there is no-one else to see
Outside myself, I fear this unknown me
Unknown Me by Fiona Dye received a special mention in the Sentinel Literary Quarterly Poetry Competition (May 2018) judged by Derek Adams.
