Finish



I say picture this
and he shows me more than I imagine
His lips, his eyes, his hands
giving me inspiration
Taking me down to paint his heat along my canvas
Molding the curve of my flesh as he goes
He whispers his vision against my skin
and I am his
Giving my mouth and the sway of my hips
Tasting his thoughts like ecstacy on my tongue
And he will finish me,
leaving me to lay like fresh art,
dripping lust from my edges.
