She scares me still

Your beauty beckons
Your spirit reckless
Your mind able to untwist my tongue
You make me lose my timidity
And I long for you by the second
In a fashion, your flesh was a bee
And I've been stung
But your words so full of poison
Yet not toxic
Confusing
I long for you, over and again
And still
I pull back
Pull back
Knowing the pain
From the wicked words
And the wild heart
I'll need to tame

(Dedicated to my wife of almost 30 years.)
