Caress To Kiss

There's a fever on your lips tonight
sshhhhh......I know I'm right,
it's not narcissism, it's love's necessity,
lay into me gently, speak with naked trust,
tell me the truth of your heart,

Softly spooning into one another's lives
we teach each other the feeling of fidelity, 
I nurture your neck with my loving mouth
speaking warmly along your sensitive ear
I've come to harvest the cream of your cravings
your open breaths so pretty with honesty
we are both at the mercy of our poetry's ecstasy -

J.A.B.  2020

Justin, this is a beautifully unguarded expression of devotion--the kind that doesn’t just touch the skin, but whispers straight to the soul. The line “we are both at the mercy of our poetry’s ecstasy” is pure magic--soft, bold, and true. You’ve captured not just physical longing, but emotional trust at its most raw and reverent. This is love as art, and art as love. With admiration, Alesia

"it's not narcissism, it's love's necessity,"...this line of clarity I feel is a reassurance as well as a truth. The love is not driven by selfishness but driven by need, and what is the harm of giving into that need when it gives one joy and euphoria? There is a discovery in every intimate moment I feel that heightens the flame of Love. Those are my thoughts on this lovely poem. Always, Laura

Very lovely, and wise thoughts Laura...love is most enlightening indeed...J.A.B.

I believe we can entrap ourselves in our own needs, and sometimes through intimacy we transform pain into pleasure. I am not sure why this comes to mind when I read this but your poetry speaks that to me.

As long as there's love in the need then the need is worthy of attention Laura. What could be better than sharing a salvation through a loving suffering...J.A.B.

Always the romantic one, Justin ... and full of bottomless passion. I find it hard for me to write like this, only ever tiptoeing along the borders of this topic ... rarely - if ever - plunging. "I've come to harvest the cream of your cravings" that's the most poignant line of your musings here, methinks. Very seductive.
