Shaq

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)



Shaq

Your body roars out a passionate vibe
So ridiculously sexy are your eyes
Your voice, your words
And your smile
Make me shout out loud
The secret of your beautiful face
The shiny grandeur of your verse
And your heart stealing mine.

Your sensual allure and subtle charm
Reels me in on an amorous line
Bringing me in as close
As the air I breathe
Unconsciously I am drawn in
Naked and not shamed
To sing your praises and touch you
As if you cherished me all along.

Your gaze gravitates me with destiny
And my lips are eager to satiate
Their thirst for yours
Your kiss becomes my desired fate
I want to swim in your embrace
With nothing between us
So much our skin blends in color
As you wrap around my vigor.

You are the arrow flying through me
I never saw shooting at all
Mystery unveiled in the open
Longing and desire spreading wings
Your body and face call me
Eager to pronounce your name
And cherish you like treasure
Making love every way we can.
