Soon

Soon

For Lily, the woman who never waited

June 11, 2024

I told my mother I would wait

She believes me

I will keep to my word

But, I won’t wait silently

I won’t wait forever

What I want, I crave

I have been watching

I have been listening

And I have been wanting

The incessant talk drives my hunger

The indecency makes me wonder

When can I be indecent?

When can I respond?

When someone responds to me?

How can I let another know?

That I am ready

That I am willing

That I am able

I want all the toys

I want all the boys

I want the pain

I want the pleasure

I want to be treated

Like a lady during the day

And a whore during the night

I want to be

Roughly taken

And gingerly taken aback

I want more than men to love me

And women to want to be me

I want the men and their women

To want me rivaling

Their want for each other

I don’t want to be

The spice of life

I want to be

The spice of all life

Bend me

Mold me

Take me

Try to break me

I am pliant

I am compliant

For all you can conjure

For all I can endure

But just not today

I made a promise to my mother

I would wait for the right time

When will that be?

Soon

Very soon
