words like you
do
all golden and sudden
sunny side up on the plate
a hangnail
or fate
we flutter we plunder we procreate
like humming birds
do...
...we drop dew drops like
they do
on
flowers
(oomph!)ahh(ooooh!)
too bright for you my dear?
or
the little smiles
you drive through
like
kamikaze bluebells that
bow
and
bow
and
wow( ! )wow
bees
torching the fields with
fuzzy little knees
your navel
crunching my (please!)
again & again
i say
you say
too much
as
my
thunderhead
sheepishly
storm clouds your
maidenhead
through
a
brick
wall
of pollen that's so sweetly
swept up the dawn
in snapdragons and chewing gum
(pop)
caught adrift in the
humdrumdoldrums & the PLUMP stinging
ring
that
my lips leave
as they
apa(press)rt
your lips
you quiver like a bowstring
this arrow sings
quicksilver
& to the
po!nt
.

Sexy, appropriately urgent and addled. This is vivid without seeming crude, which is rare and admirable of lustful poetry.
