In my mind
I run my tongue
long and slow...
down your chin
your neck
each curve
of your spine –
savour your skin
aromatic as the salt
of Arabah.

Continue on...
Run my lips
across your breasts
those thighs
and your hand
I claim as my own
follow every line
every contour.

At the beginning
I confess; I lied.
I cannot tell fortunes
but, this very moment,
I seal our fate
with a kiss.

Your body speaks
to me like the twilight
tells the nightingale
to sing. I am that song –
imperfectly sung
but perfectly yours.

The rise and fall
of your back –
that perfect arch
it forms I lay beneath.

And so kill me
crush me
if you will...
for I would die
in exquisite agony.

Hi Tina, it wasn't you on that gentleman's telephone service I accidentally called the other night? No? Oops, forget I mentioned it. Seriously though this is one of the most sensuous poems I have ever read. Simply superb :--) xx

'down your chin your neck each curve of your spine – savour your skin' - love the images in these lines, Tina! And those last few lines; 'exquisite agony'. Beautiful, beautiful poem! Well done on the cherry ;) Magic xxx

Sorry I'm late commenting, Tina. I love the images you use, the whole poem flows so well and as Kheldar stated it is one of the most sensuous poems I have ever read also- which is probably one of the reasons it works so well. This is certainly a beautiful poem, skillfully written as always :-) . I particularity enjoyed this stanza; At the beginning I confess; I lied. I cannot tell fortunes but, this very moment, I seal our fate with a kiss. and the last stanza ends perfectly. Well done on the cherry you richly deserve :-D Beeme xx
