My Poetry

RELATIONSHIPS ARE COMPLICATED

~17~

Body Love

Yearning for you blazes through
My body like a wildfire,
And begs to be called love.

My skin glows and glistens.  Our
Veins throb with hot wine, and
The sharing draws us closer.

You gently trace the shape of
My face with your fingers,
And I lose all desire but to melt into you.

Wrap your arms around me now
And hold me like you’ll never let me go.
I need you.  I love you.
