Ode to E.

I.

Oh it's lush

    and beautiful

The way it creeps itself up

Your shirt

    is lovely.

It makes me want to trace

Every inch

   Do not flinch

As I nip.

II.

I am a fallen prey

To the

Giddy delirium

To explore you

     with my fingers

To taste you

     until it lingers

And to let

     my lips

Burn a moist, patient trail

From

Your

    Collarbone

To

Your

    Sternum.

III.

Driving southward

Damp

Warm

     skin

Fleshing the ribs

                    hips

                    thighs

                        on fire

And

Between our tongues

               our skin

               our chests

Layer of salt

Dive across my ribs.

IV.

Shudder of delight

Deeper thrust

We

      can never be possibly

Get close

      enough.

V.

Oh

    yes

Yes

    yes yes

Yes

Bliss

      is the

Tormenting appetite

      that

Coils

      in my

Womb.

VI.

You always said

You are about

The

      destination.

We both arrived.
