Amorous Attentions

The intimacy of knowing your body as well as I know my own… The unspoken permission to touch with my hands, to feel with my lips, my tongue, to move upon and explore the most secret of places, witness the most intimate functions. Your salty sweat is delicious, your saliva is like fine wine. Each pale hair that covers you deserves attention and devotion. I want to taste the words that spill from your lips as you speak, taste the flavor of my name on your mouth. I want to crawl inside of you, as if you had a uterus and it could be the womb where I suck my thumb, secure and safe. To know you as intimately as I know myself, and to peek in at your thoughts… to seek and find that hidden place where your soul resides! I would that I could lay seige to the shelter that succors your naked, vulnerable soul… and live there with you, hold you in my arms for eternity.

Melding as one, carnal immersion. Sizzle. The womb metaphor brilliant as way to encapsulate an ultimate security plea...begging the protection/protector. Need to read more than once. Not weird. =:/

Hmmm. This went from sizzling to weird to sentimental... all in one stanza! You really covered a gamut of sensations and emotions here Crystol. You just keep getting better and better
