Notes About The Poem

Skin and Bones

How exhilarating...
this magic spell of you. I'm completely
at your mercy, my love. I wish you knew
Oh, I wish you knew just how deeply
you thrill and seduce me.

Your trace of "beloved" across the chamber
of my heart with your delicate fingertips
The tickling breeze from your blow on
the nape of my neck sends goosebumps
radiating deep down to my bones

Your soft whisper of my name gives me
a tingle up and down my spine. 
The sparkle in your eyes and smile
explode with adulterated joy and shakes
the concrete beneath my feet.

Your every touch, goosebumps
cap-a-pie, skin and bones. Each kiss
goodbye, a torturous yearning that turns
my world topsy-turvy; my heart 
churning like an angry ocean....

until you return!
