Intoxicating

Intoxicating

Your very essence is so very
intoxicating causing
me to become drunk by all
of your beauty as it is always
on my mind when I begin to
think about every
single inch of your body, as
I undress you ever so slowly
while a blindfold covers your
eyes in the darkness so that
you can gain a trust in what
we have, so as my pen spills out
all of the ink that now covers
your bare naked skin it begins to
write a story of what you do to me,
starting on the back of your
neck just behind your ears where
my lips start a journey of an
unending lifelong tapestry of a
deeply mutual understanding
between you and I feeling the
warmth of your soft supple skin
ever so gently while kissing just
ever so softly at the nape of your
neck, then quietly whispering
with a single breath without
saying any words at all telling
you what is coming next just
as my trembling hands come
up from behind you exploring
with a design to hold your
beautiful bare breast feeling
them rise and then fall back
down with your every single
breath just as your nipples begin
to say "oh baby please yes" while becoming alive as if they have
their own mind so very erect just as
my lips continue to tickle as I softly nibble right behind your left ear lobe
then as you feel the strength of my
poet's pen slightly brush up against
your lower back causing you to
arch up begging to react while letting out a low moan and a sigh
of a poetic kind that heats up the
page's between your thighs which beckons forth my heated yet bated breath to start to begin with nary a doubt inside realize that at this
moment of innocence disappearance
there is no better place to be in time causing my whole entire
body to shake which starts a
process of give and take to begin
creating more ink that is being
pumped from my inside of my
pounding heart causing all my
words to embark on a whole new
verse that reads "making love to
you is all I want to do from when
the sun goes down until it rises back
up again then when the night falls
and there is nothing but darkness all around all of the stars
up in the night skies start to light
up our path like a million
fireflies by the ocean sands while
the moon begins to glow
showing us where we need to go
as tears and sweat now
fall as our bodies become one
lost in time as our hearts begin to
pound while beating out all of the melodies of who and what we
are while our souls are
holding on tightly to one another
toe to toe hand in hand dancing
through with each other where
no one has ever been
while searching for eternity
through the windows of forever
just as right here and now
come together continuing on
until our ink runs dry just as
you and I become lost in the
other's eyes paralyzed by all
that we will be at the precipice
of our life as you and me,
where death has no meaning
as life is the beginning where
the end never comes and time
believes in nothing at all.
