Poem
“Look up at the stars,” you say Its just another night up on the old water tank Our blanket is spread and here we sit with the universe our theater Another night of showing me the constellations Astronomy…your love You…my love The stars….your hobby You….my idolatry I try to follow your pointing finger I try so hard to see them, those legends in your night sky Hercules and Orion You breathe out the names in sacred tones of awe The constellations come alive, thundering across the sky Celestial history of time But the only stars I see shine in your eyes your masculine grace the beauty of your face your inner glow that shames this night star show you take my breath away... And all I know on this night is that I want to slide down the handle of the Big Dipper with you And splash into the waters of passion Drenched in the liquid light of your love My universe “You’re not listening…” you reprimand gently as you look at me I can’t speak You touch my cheek “What is it?” And my voice is still as I struggle to find the will to make you see all that you mean to me I rise to my feet Trembling, I speak... “I will not let ….the stars outshine MY love for you That’s…all you see I’m here now taste my jealousy"... Your upturned face moves me beyond inhibitions.. My hands overcome the shyness my stuttering voice belies They start to undress me “I am…your earth bound Virgo Here….I’m here… But I will no longer be your virgin... Not tonight" My blouse flutters to the ground and my hands move to my skirt "Make me your Andromeda, your chained lady Yes….wrap yourself around me Bind me with your love Be my hungry Leo, thirsty with desire And I will play the part of Aquarius… a water bearer of love” And my undergarments….along with my skirt, fall all around me Naked, I lower myself onto your lap I straddle you as the Milky Way straddles the night sky And now….I am all you see Your star struck eyes now focus on me Wonder fills them as they take in my breasts Full and taut with desire for the first time revealed I feel your fire I speak… “Yes, you cannot touch celestial orbs, but touch these... Touch me...taste me....I'm here And let my throbbing full moon Covered now with a mantle chaste Reveal itself to your touch I want you so much... Yes, I'm here"... And you fondle and taste and you fiercely embrace In my virgin blush the stars hush they hush to the sound of your name that comes from my lips in bursts of new pleasure time stands still to in the wake of this thrill and my universe comes to be birthed within your release Trembling in my arms you speak In a voice awed and weak "My universe...is you The stars fall silent...their voice is hushed every time.... every time... you say my name. You hush the stars with my name" Eileen Manassian February 24, 2015
