THE PHANTOM LOVER
Copyright 2004 by Charlotte Boyett-Compo


Hot and sweet he was
A thrust of honeyed flesh
As powerful as steel and as lasting.

Eyes like molten gold
Flecked with searing heat
Possessive and demanding of me.

Muscles rippling in the sun
Thighs hard, arms strong
Belly flat and rump rounded high.

A face of a wicked, wild god
With gleaming white teeth
Lips full and tasting of wine.

He came from the water,
Droplets cascading from his skin
Naked as he had been born

My eyes fell to the juncture of his legs
I drew in a breath
And held it.

There was authority there
A glistening wand of pleasure
A commanding swell.

He walked straight up to me
Took my hand in his
Brought it to his smiling mouth

Mesmerized, I felt the pull
Sinking down to the earth
In engaging surrender.

Awaiting the touch of his body upon mine.
Heated flesh, rippling muscle
A weight that pressed over me

Steel: hard and long and straight
Plundered the depths of my soul
Satiating my fantasies.

Swelling deep and pouring forth
His was the face of a dark angel
Possessing the body of a demoness.

Smiling with a domineering grin
That swept me far beyond myself
I gave in to his demand.

After he left I lay there for hours
Staring up at the sky
Judging the new world by the old.

Had he been there at all?
Had I dreamt him?
Did his scent linger only to taunt?

Now I spend my time on the cliffs
Waiting for my lover to come
From the water again.
