a short compilation in verse
i like baths
in wintertime
and the taut
exhale
of my breasts
between your
teeth
***
but darling, my
legs are tired
and my
mouth
needs
loving
***
look, my darling, a
nightgown of silk
the door is ajar
and someone’s
consumed
the bed
a heart races
in the aftermath
of the kissing
a single thread
is torn, a tangle
is fastened in the
down between
fingers,
you blind
fumble
for the
marrying
place
the sweat
on my brow
is rising
thrust of
a chin
breasts are
stones
my knees
knock the
floor
yes

It’s ok. 😉 I appreciate the kind words. As a writer, I’m sure you can appreciate that crafting pieces like this tastefully is a challenge. And one that I very much enjoy. In a way, I feel it pushes me to create new images/feelings/associations. Thanks again…
