For you...



Home again....

The warm shadows

Soften your nakedness,

Undulating curves of sensuality,

Sculptured - a Rodin - for me.

I try and keep my breathing quiet

As I sit on the very edge of our bed,

Marvelling in your beauty - drinking

You in - I kiss the back of your calves;

“I love you”


I kiss you softly behind the knee;

“Oh I love you”

I softly glide my hand across the

Whiteness of your thigh

Across your sweet bottom.


You roll over – smiling

- Eyes still closed –

Your hair - all over.

I kiss your sex and you open up

Like poetry.


I mentally grin as I think of

‘Cummings’

“....Your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me...”

As I devour you...

“...or if you wish to close me, I and my life will shut.... ”

You hold my head like a baby

Caressing and guiding me...

“I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;

Only something in me understands the voice of your eyes

Is deeper then all roses...”

And I love the taste of you -

Autumn leafs...

“....Nobody, not even the rain, has such

small hands....”

It’s for you.

With each read this poem becomes more endearing, more touching. Your art choices are perfect and you've found somehow, somewhere, a picture of a 'perfect red rose.' I think of all your poems this will remain my favorite . Perhaps because of how you wove ee.cummings in there ever so perfectly. marci♥♥♥
