He chose red for my lips,
Fingers in my hair.
Skin for my thighs,
Delicious, bare.
Love for my heart,
Smile for my soul,
Beats for the ears
Cuz that’s how we roll…

That’s How It Works
Where you go, I will go, that’s how it works. Others may question, eyebrows might rise, but we are a package now–reserve two seats at the table of life from now until forever. I was bestowed two eyes, but that’s only to see you better–others can wonder, but there’s no need to explain ourselves.

My Favorite Tune
Your smile is a melody,
It is my favorite tune.
It has a breath of tenderness
The gradual warmth of June.
You were the rhythm that echoed around,
When I was very young–
The first day that I met you,
I had known my song was sung.
I will dance to it just as long
As we keep up this beat–
I am so grateful that the bars were
Writ so you and I would meet.

My Spirit Is For Dreaming, Only
And he’s everything to me–come closer, I catch his scent, as we relax beneath the warm light, our smiles fading to silence as intent becomes clear…where will this go? Only time knows–my spirit is for dreaming, only.

Hercules
It was one of those hard days…old emotions flooded straight out of my eyes. My brain burned, my body weak, I needed an outside distraction. Funk soothes my soul; I find a mix, press play…
He neared me from behind–his melenated skin emanating heat–I fretted–Not Now.
But with a gentleness, my head was taken into his hands, his fingers worked the anguish from my scalp, ran the length of my neck, relaxed my tense spine.
“I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine…” Melting me like that–I could feel the pressure from every side…
He must have been Hercules.
