James Peranteau Poet Free verse

She Bathes

.

        From the well 
        the soft water
 she pours on mine flesh
              slowly
        I feel the cool

And her warm hands ‘pon 
            my flesh 
    awash with glycerin 
cause the thrust of words
            my  plea

             please 

             Yesss
  our flesh caused slide
      and tender feel
until the rupture of love
        caused sleep
         on dry leaf

Daver Austin July 26, 2011 at 12:01 PM A rather rustic setting, Sir James. At least I feel outdoorsy with it. Breezy, kind of. It splashes deliciously. Love, daver
