Notes About The Poem

I Am Drinking You

I am drinking you
With my eyes open wide
And my lips moist
My nose catching scent

I am eating you
Savouring every little detail
My tongue distinguishing
Sweet, sour, salt

I am seeing you
With veiled eyes
Shedding tears of salt
And sweetness

I am hearing you
And all the words
Not said but guessed
In all the small cries

You wrote this one before I joined soup, but I remember reading in from your blog. So so passionate and sensual this one is. Love it!
