Notes About The Poem

Heated and Warm

HEATED AND WARM

The lovely curve of your back
An S of strong
  Steadfast
  Slender
  Surrender
    myself to you

To your inviting arms
That hold no curve
But instead curl
  around me like 
  a tender snake

And your legs
That carry the world
  and me
Two pillars of folding
  themselves around
  our joining
    protective

Your mouth
  compasionate circle
  around my ear
Whispering those words
  only I can hear
  heated and warm
