Up for the Taking


It has been eons

since I have taken a lover


Not a date, an outing

where two share curated stories

the target marketing tango


Not a relationship

committed to a regular stint

in each other's daily play

The script speaks

of companionship

in the passing of days


a lover

where the intrigue and interest intersect

the wrapping 

of limbs

fingers feeling

all the wonderful 

folds

to find

the exquisite

space

the agony

of passion


Eager encounters 

unentangled

without wont

or obligation


a lover

who urges 

forth

opens up

wide

the heady bloom

of  desire

who makes

the dew drop

and the voice scream

in the dark hours


lingering in the heat 

of a late afternoon

our skin

sweat slick

sliding

over

and

over

and

over

each other


tasting

your salt

my honey sweet

quivering

spaces

places

where words

have no reason

other than an ecstatic cry 

beholden

to the divine
