A Simple Request

By: Fereshteh - Sholevar-Herrmann

If I quietly looked at you and dared you
As the shadows of sin sank into my eyes

If I untouchably caressed you
As the urge set fire in my fingers

If I wrapped you with the lace of yearning
As my skin began to burst with aching

If I quietly and silently shouted into your ear
Would you loudly and loudly acknowledge me?
