I am not Speaking of Love



I am not speaking of love.
I know the curves of her body;
they fill my hands.
I know the surrender of her throat
and the invitation of her hips.
I know the moistness in her eyes
and the ocean between her thighs
and the lingering and the yearning.
I know the whispers and the bites,
shivers, and nails,
and the depths where I dissolve.
I don't speak of high love.
I don't speak of love at all.
My mouth is full of you.
