Resting Desire
It arrives as an assurance,
convincing enough to trust.
A spineless life
lacking spikes,
lacking dips,
lacking lust on my hips.
The effortless equilibrium.
So this is the goal?
Balancing boredom as bedroom mastery.
Libido leveling stating wisdom.
Rewarding my restraint,
my uninterrupted calm
as a time bomb—
where desire finally rests.
Restless.
Dressless.
