It's Only Natural
if I close my eyes
open all my senses
I can feel you
your breath is the breeze
caressing me
like fingers through my tresses
lifting & twining
feather touching my flesh
I hear your voice
whispering through the leaves
grounding me
in your ancient serenity
as you speak words
meant only for me
I see your spirit in my mind
granite cliffs & rippling streams
solid & fluid combined
compassionate & passionate
gentle & wild
I smell your essence
in pine cones & fir
in the scent of freshly cut grass
when pressed to your earth
I breathe in your masculine presence
I taste you
in sweet flowing waters
and the sharp tang of wild berries
intoxicating & rich
I hold your flavor in my mouth
as a favor to myself
indulging...
...in your succulence
open all my senses
I can feel you
your breath is the breeze
caressing me
like fingers through my tresses
lifting & twining
feather touching my flesh
I hear your voice
whispering through the leaves
grounding me
in your ancient serenity
as you speak words
meant only for me
I see your spirit in my mind
granite cliffs & rippling streams
solid & fluid combined
compassionate & passionate
gentle & wild
I smell your essence
in pine cones & fir
in the scent of freshly cut grass
when pressed to your earth
I breathe in your masculine presence
I taste you
in sweet flowing waters
and the sharp tang of wild berries
intoxicating & rich
I hold your flavor in my mouth
as a favor to myself
indulging...
...in your succulence

I really enjoyed the intertwining of intimacy and nature throughout this poem, of course two incredibly natural things in the world that's been happening for thousands of years, I enjoyed some of the subtleties in this poem because I actually prefer erotic poetry that expresses outside the barriers of erotica, (not jack and sally having a bump behind the alley kind of erotica) the descriptions of smell is a relatable one for me because we all know what kind of aroma we adore to smell from somebody we love or have feelings for, plus no two people are the same either so it's interesting to read what scents attract people too, there was a sense of spirituality in the opening of this poem and I feel that's a huge one for me, connection is a big key when it comes to a significant person, to feel them even when they're not physically present holds very deeply and to have that with somebody is more than what human beings could ever ask for in my opinion so i'm glad to see that in the opening lines of this little number.
Incredibly spiritual and primal this write, I take my curls off to you, it was a lovely little read to come across.
Thank you for sharing :)
