your heartbeat racing
frenzied by my fingertips
spurred on by my touch
-----
each line a new stroke
poetry brushes her flesh
his fingers at play
-----
how daringly you dance
stripped down to nearly nothing
shadow of your truth
-----
speak your wants and needs
poetry is for wishing
plain words for passion
-----
waited a lifetime
but life just kept on going
not leaving much time
-----
i know how you taste
how your nectar gleams and flows
at once salt and sweet
-----
saw your heart and smiled
red icon by my poem
said much about you
-----
in sickness and health
i will do what man can do
to never fail you
-----
back turned to the world
to hide beauty or see it better
or to be herself
-----
misunderstood words
discipline and submission
each begins with trust
first you love yourself
then love the reason you love
loving both the same
wholly committed
discipline yourself to love
submitting in awe
