It`s not the usual spaces
though they are none the less
for it;
but those delightful unselfconcious
corners,
where the corded muscle
of a shoulder
meets and rises to the
pulsing throat,
or the squarish span
of a capable hand,
more masculine in its
scarred splendor
than any rising bicep.
Locations like these.


Especially the landscape
of his negative relief:
rough where I am smooth,
hard where I yield,
out where I am in,
strength where I`m weak-
and the yards of warm
and waiting patience:
his chest, which holds my head,
soothes me like an infant
around the deep and steady beat;
the rumble of his voice,
the latent heat.

That second verse is melting down the page somehow but I was able to read it before it started running like an overheated water color seeking it's climax of fulfillment.....

Great!

me too, wishing I wrote this.

This is so sensual and seductive, but most of all
the love lingers long, almost effortlessly.

Oh so nicely penned, A~
