open …
I keep my eyes open
to watch you as you kiss me
to think on all that you are thinking
all the carnal thoughts that
might be stirring behind those lids
our lashes so close …
like little feathers that sweep your flesh
cheeks blushing crimson with
sexy thoughts …
I imagine what you might
be imagining …
perhaps you wonder the same of me
perhaps you wonder what I’M wondering
maybe, like me, the possibilities of
those thoughts stir deep
within your core
butterflies of the unknown erotic
things that we might do
fluttering fitfully in the depths of
your abdomen -
weakening your knees
giving you that jelly-leg sensation
of standing on a cliff edge
taking your breath
making you make that soulful, squeaky
gasp that drives me mad …
oh, what are the secrets
that move there beneath your lids?
are they yearnings, divine -
the tickle of those places you
want me to touch?
the bumpy-skin anticipation of
my fingertips, brushing?
do you raise that gooseflesh as
sensual glyphs for
me to decipher with my hands?
are you imagining all the
wild, wondrous, wanton things
we may do together?
are you thinking of that nameless place
we meet at and become one
whenever our pleasure peaks at the
same magical moment -
where we are no longer You and I?
are you thinking of my taste?
or perhaps YOUR taste -
when I share you with you, in a kiss?
I wonder, are you living out
some grand fantasy in your head?
am I your prurient prince?
your sad scoundrel?
your dashing captain, home from the sea?
am I your man of mystery?
your Cyrano?
your beast of debauchery?
am I your Don Quixote?
your hunchback?
your archangel?
your delicious demon?
or perhaps, like me
your thoughts are on our mouths alone -
that tender, surging press of lips -
our tongues, wrestling with each other
running along the tops of smooth,
white teeth like picket fences …
our mouths opening, closing
tasting, drinking sweetness and passion
lost to lust in a swirling ballet …
do you know?
have I ever let on?
are you aware that I watch you like
this whenever we kiss?
an intimate voyeur, stealing desirous
glances that turn me to stone …
oh, if you only knew how
exquisitely beautiful you are at
this distance …
where lashes nearly touch
if you only knew how much it
turns me electric …
if you could know all the
sensually maniacal things that rush
through my brain every time
our lips are melting …
for every instant watching you
brings a hundred more such wonderings -
ferocious fires lit by those
sexy, feathery, diaphanous lashes …
your rippling lids, eyes rocking
with naughty ideas beneath …
tinted with pink and baby blue shadow …
eyeliner zipping them together like
the seam on netted stockings …
your flushed cheeks like plum blossoms …
and a delicious, dainty nose to
bridge that perfect gap …
all within my gaze
all in an instant -
each and EVERY instant …
that we kiss.
