Je T’aime Cherí

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)



Je T’aime Cherí

What is it with you and late night nibbles
Falling all over my skin in crumbles
After you hands reach
Inside me and take
Whole handfuls
You grab my sex almost in a fist
Pumping it so my veins show
And drawing your lips
Around me in a red halo
Petals, repeating circles
Making blazing rings of flames!

And as if that weren’t enough
You spread your thighs
And take me for ride
Pegasus in flight once more
High into skies of pure ecstasy
We pour out our love
So the fire has a chance
To keep us warm again
I drift off hearing you say
In hushed French words
Je t’aime, cherí.
