You are the very last drop of an exquisite, full bodied, crimson wine.
And it's time. It's time that you know....that like a kiddie book, "I love to read you." I love to drag my fingers softly down your soul...Close my eyes, decipher weight, measure substance, your tortured moan is my sustenance.
The cadence of your voice alone guides me home and the butterflies in this stomach fill me with a frenzied brush of downy wings. Mmmmm..you tend to make me think all kinds of irreverent things.
Those petite tumbling wonders dip and soar literally intoxicated on the unspoken promise of your rapid heart beat, which in itself is a feat because when you touch me I can barely stand on my own....two feet that is...
without your palm to the small of my back that is...
and my cheek hard up against the wall...that is.
Your hot breath stirs sensitized skin, I'll take you in..and in return for this blissful haze I'll spill out formal words for days.
While midnight's sharp inhale at the impending morn lets fall her ebony gown in foreplay with the sun, I'll grasp calloused hands so tender. Your lips part with a secret smile. Our bodies will tell the story that our lips shall not defile...
because your half-crooked grin makes me dizzy and sears straight to my center. You're like my very own personal satisfaction mentor.
So let me be the voice backed by the dawn that drips unspeakable beauty right on down your awakening sky before sleep start sucking gently on our brains and we lose our how, our where, and our why.
And darling, I am spun, spun, spun like a rogue planet out of orbit, dazed by your brilliance and set alight. I am wound up so tight that if I were a bit more brave I might say... I might say...
Join us TONIGHT Poet! (..and every Thursday night) You do not even have to get dressed! I want to hear your ink on The Speakeasy Cafe's "SOUND OF INK" Open Mic RADIO show! Bring your Pen's Voice! Be heard! =) Nyla
