What Lies Beneath Her Ink

nightly i inhaled � � � � �
your sweet lyrical ether � � � � �
the vaporized ink � � � � �
of your unrelenting scripture � � � � �
opened the senses � � � � �
strengthening connections � � � � �
sensitizing me to your deepest desires � � � � �
and now we telegraph thoughts � � � � �
through slanted eyes � � � � �
smoldering with silent intent � � � � �
ready to confess.. � � � � �
commune...confide � � � � �
as lovers and passing strangers � � � � �
mysterious beings full of ideas � � � � �
come paint your poetry � � � � �
on me in neon colors � � � � �
illuminate the unexpressed � � � � �
cover my bare chest � � � � � �
in your flaming reds and moody blues.. � � � � �
as you spread yourself generously � � � � �
with fingers swirling.. � � � � �
arms curling.. � � � � �
it's love unfurling.. � � � � �
in so many hues.. � � � � �
��
use me.. � � � � �
appraise me worthy of your muse � � � � �
let's take our familiarities � � � � �
into the unknown.. � � � � �
making love like we just met � � � � �
like we'll never meet again � � � � �
as we delve into murky emotional seas � � � � �
where we shelve our civilized selves.. � � � � �
and move with those lurking carnivores � � � � �
forever peeking.. � � � � �
creeping behind longing eyes.. � � � � �
carnoisseurs of an unseeming passion � � � � �
uncaged..totally engaged. � � � � �
acknowledging how our love can travel � � � � �
through many shades � � � � �
recite for me those elements � � � � �
under the canopy of your soul � � � � �
in that i may reciprocate � � � � �
them accordingly � � � � �
��
you spoonfed me the taste of irony � � �
as my sable sought to � � � � �
unveil your masterpiece � � � � �
for in seeking you � � � � �
you have conjured my depths... � � � � �
the strokes beneath your words � � � � �
crept into my mental � � � � �
trickled down my esophagus � � � � �
cradled my soul � � � � �
left behind a misty rainbow � � � � �
of emotions 'pon me � � � � �
felt your nuances echo � � � � �
through my chamber of peering shadows � � � � �
exposed my innermost man � � � � �
etched porous skin � � � � �
i wear you now � � � � �
as my hidden hieroglyph � � � � �
heir to secret thoughts unbirthed � � � � �
loins pledged to cast in colors cultivated � � � � �
by your inquiring quill � � � � �
and tis here � � � � �
i gift you the skeleton key to my eros � � � � �
to keep in sacred trust.. � � � � �
from pen to parchment � � � � �
from dark to light � � � � �
from man to woman � � � � �
we manifest magnificence in tones of � � � � �
the multifaceted us � � � � �

A freaking STELLAR goodie.

I love the honor, respect and sheer sense of pure reverence woven into the heady sensual back burning that stokes the embers upon the page...

There's softness that tempers the passion not with any weakness but with this strength of conviction that's brutally sexy.

So thrilled I had an opportunity to read this piece... it's wholly captivating.

🌹💙
