I Know You

After years of intimacy and travels I know you 
like the back of my hand. Your face like an angel, 
your lips like a ripe peach. Cat’s eyes like fangs
that mesmerize me.

Oh yes I know you

I have touched all parts of your body like a blind
man reading a Braille book. From your exquisite feet 
to the heavenly areas in between where I spent
hours savoring the essence you provided.

Oh yes I know you

Yes I know your body but you’re a mystery to me when
It concerns your thoughts and feelings.  I’ve often 
wondered where you go when you’re asleep. Is it some 
secret place where I’m not invited?

I think I know you

And when you stare at the moon when I’m not there,
are you remembering me or someone one else?
I sometimes wonder whether you really love me when
at night I hear you moaning

Guess I’m jealous or perhaps I don’t really know you.
