How To Spend Love



How To Spend Love

I want to spend my entirety
making love to you
Laid across white linens
Me with your naked body
Only in my view.
When I see you
Lying in the light
I can see rainbows
surround you,
your sensual silhouette
Bringing a rush of blood
With a quiet sigh
My eyes take their cues
when they run along
the side of your curves
you move
miraculously towards me
Resting on me
my lap becoming
a cradle for your love.

The aroma of your desire
quickly intoxicates me
And my mind runs
across your back
Fingers caress
Sensations soft as velvet,
hands have ever touched.
My mouth circles
your precious fruits
As you run your hands
through my hair.
I can feel your eyes
rolling back
as you toss your head
slowly in every direction
You begin to ride me
and I grow stronger
with every penetration.
Happy to give in
to your hip’s every dance.

Love is the real power
We write with our bodies
Between our feelings
And our expressions
Our touch is
The invisible boundary
Where we neither
Begin or end
Our bodies are
One sexual motion
A universe expanding
An ocean of
Endless waves
Desire and passion
Joined for one purpose
Creating life
A new voice
In the cosmos
A star ever spinning
In the darkness.
