Notes: Variations on a theme, just in another fandom - I'm suffering from a villanelle addiction these days, it's an amazing poetic form to play with... The two lines I used are actually the opening couplet to the spoken intro track 'Desire' on Heart's 'Desire Walks On' album...

********************

'Desire walks on - it wants to be held, possessed.'
Feral senses taste the lust in the air, rising with the heat.
'It wants consummation - it moves on, obsessed...'

Want and need, kept buried, never before confessed,
rise as the heart races, beat by beat.
'Desire walks on - it wants to be held, possessed.'

Will stretches, breaks, shatters, mouths pressed
for the taste of first kisses hot and sweet.
'It wants consummation - it moves on, obsessed...'

Words spoken not quite in jest
now prove to have been the hunt - advance, retreat, advance, retreat...
'Desire walks on - it wants to be held, possessed.'

Knowing mouth roams, provoking sensation only dimly guessed
at before, world spinning, sparking, exploding under still feet.
'It wants consummation - it moves on, obsessed...'

Golden head rests on pale white breast,
listening in silence as mind and body struggle once again to meet.
'Desire walks on - it wants to be held, possessed.'
'It wants consummation - it moves on, obsessed...'
