What do I want?

I want to hold you
Cradle you in my safe warmth
Stroke your head as it lays on my
Breast pillow
Feel your guarded wall crumble
As your heart opens to mine

I want to touch you
Slowly, gently, softly
Feel your sinews melt
Beneath my fingertips
As they encounter
Tightly held emotions under skin
Toughened by reluctance to release

I want to feel you
Deep within my yearning depths
My yielding softness
Welcoming your hard masculinity
Melding together, becoming one
Each feeding the other
Nourishing body and soul
Until replete

I want to lie in your arms
Both of us -
Spent,connected, healed
Basking in the glow of pleasure
Each time better than the last
Home

I want you to see me
In my vulnerability
Blood, bone, flesh
Accept the open, quivering heart
Offered without condition
I cannot utter the words
My eyes will speak in lieu

I want to become liquid
Beneath your hands
I want to be courageous
In your presence
I want you to know
My unquenchable thirst for you

I want...You
