Hello Ms. Experimental
Try your sisters clothes and your mothers perfumes
Look down and imagine Aphrodite
Pretend it's a sopping inward lie
But feel an outward growing
Peek down at your undeniable truth

Don't deny your senses
Starved and expanding
Fall down on your bare knees and touch
Caress the reality
In your skin of fantasy
Touch me through yourself

Your hand moves cautiously
My obsession opens to you
Liquid innocence on your fingertips
Ripples of the break from your eyes
Calls of want from your mouth
I answer with gentle motion

The roundness at the base of your back
Pumping in time with your gesture
I taste you in my mind
Cravings to be your lover eminent
Twin divers off the bluffs
Foam expelling upward as we crash in unison

You don't move when I bubble up
Just examine me
Flushed and wet and panting for air
Your lips form a sentence of interest
Eyes bright with the oxygen of youth
A breath you're ready to share

Electric and slippery is your mouth
Tight yet quivering is your being
My movement is slick and natural
I keep you close but I'm far lost
The taste of the sea on my tongue
Warm as Sunday sunshine to my core

From below the waves I now feel you
Your hands flail purposelessly
Clawing up with longing to exhale
Searching for the coast to make it tangible
Screaming for the end and the beginning at once
Impossible for the moment to come too quickly

I fill you up as you empty yourself
Your oils sliding around on your bare belly
Staining the silky fabrics that make up your façade
The smell of our love thick and ripe
You resign your struggles and accept gratification
The taste of a woman on my lips
