she reads his poems
pleasure center quivering
to his words' rhythms
-----
knows what poet sees
his knowing eyes revealing
secrets she's hidden
first shy heat of blush
soon a fire of welcome joy
casting all aside
stands exposed and pure
naked of body and mind
proudly before him
-----
her lips full and slack
in ecstasy's afterglow
memories streaming
-----
her clothes discarded
models a gown of his words
spaces between them
-----
within those moments
when night becomes my lover
with her dark caress
-----
woman warrior
your armor in the corner
naked in my arms
-----
after destruction
rest delightfully shattered
by our love's tempest
-----
poetry spilling
tries to catch the overflow
he pours upon her
-----
a special item
from her secret box of toys
an expectant smile
naked to the night
she prepares with great restraint
corners of her bed
covering her eyes
wearing only a sweet smile
awaits his coming
-----
if we should love
do i hold you or free you
i would do both
