harum-scarum

it

was i who

materialized

from distant ether

plucked you seductively

from the air

and other worldly pursuits

with one look

notions of you

at public gatherings

a wanton glance

across a dinner party

your tuxedo pushing into

my backless gown

you found my thigh

as you looked for your

keys and train ticket

we have almost touched

how does one explain

why you want

a particular

mouth

hair

skin

eyes

body pressed to yours

soul to sit within

forbidden fruit tastes better upon the tongue

neither of us low hanging

our singular juices far more

delicious

we have held this stare

for so long

dancing near

we could be a neruda poem

you speak to me as if i am a world lying in surrender

a lifetime of desire

in

one night

forever

this is

why

i chose you

in

my

words

This is so amazing. Gave me butterflies reading it. And this line:
“you speak to me as if i am a world lying in surrender” <— THAT is just so beautiful. Color me coveting. xo
