looking at me with pellucid eyes
sleep-soft and sure
tossing petals in a pool of pleasure
watching the warm waves ripple
across the reflection of my body
as I trace fingers down
to curve of hip from nape of neck
then travel up the vein of trust
to the heart
pause to listen with hand
sharing the soul song of
kindred spirits
slow, go slow...
I fuel your liquid leisure to measure
all the flowing love
then finger rub the treasure there
and touch your heated tongue
with Hershey kisses
melding with care while you circle
mouth to mouth partly open
waiting to please
If a moment could hold a touch
and play it again for me
I'd capture it with a sigh and rewind
to touch the tender places
one by one again and again
slow, go slow...
her skin reflects the meadow dew
as I breathe in her feathery hair
like a flower as she blossoms
and some essence that burns in her
affects me similar to
the nape of her neck
which is my haven hallowed now
almost reverent
she could sense me now with eyes
closed worshipping
as I again nurture her secret garden
