CENTERED

There is a secret song
at the center of the world
and Trevor knew every word.

He sang them to me;
the most generous tongue;
more touching than any yet heard.

The words lit a light;
they moved me just right;
he lit up the world at my center.

He bathed me in lust;
his lips made me trust;
his spit made me beg him to enter.

And after it ended;
the man I befriended;
we went separate ways and surrendered...

But I am still haunted
by song that he flaunted...
And pleasure that his song engendered.
