She Wants the Sweet Fire

I exist, where your heart fails to resist the lips of love
on the earlobe of your aching beauty and the nipples of your curving needs,
I exist in the circuit of blue veins that circle your flowering soul,
the star that stirs violet sparks in the center of your solar plexus, 
I exist in the color of your lust
when your eyes espy the kiss between truth and desire,
I exist when temptation teaches your tears
that your sweetest strength is surviving within the arms of my firm affection, 
I exist when the angel in you rises with the ecstacy of phenomenal exertion,
I am alive in the heartbeat of your happiness -

J.A.B.

Read this a couple times, Justin, because of its sweet intensity and arousing images. I do believe that what you are describing is much more than merely existing ... but rather thriving. "nipples of your curving needs", "arms of my firm affection", "ecstasy of phenomenal exertion" ... they are masterful lines, and evocative descriptions. Just excellent.

And it is an extraordinary joy knowing that you exist, Justin. You describe almost a spiritual love-making delicately while still powerfully assuring your love is strong "I exist in the color of your lust when your eyes espy the kiss between truth and desire" Delectable lines; it's hard to choose a favorite. The last line assures one that you are not merely a temptation; you don't exist merely to tempt but to complete, and gratify. Your fire is hot, sensuous and brave. Love always, Laura
