The Nearness of You
I saw you
Smoother than smooth
Exotic
Kissed by strokes of earth tones; and
I can only imagine,
Traversing manhood of mounds
Toned, buffed, offering much joy delight
Noon or night.
So, I asked myself:
Is it the curve of your lips?
The pull of your smile?
The look in your eyes?
Undisguised, as the warmth I feel
Because of you?
