let me love you

you light me
up
like the sun
burning eons
of bloodink and breath

like fireworks
blazing
across a velvet night

like Spring
sweet
like peaches in summertime
the sweet essence of
desire and passion
bursting

you light me up
like dynamite
like one million
explosions
detonated in my

heart
my soul
speaks

in words
in thyme and
time
means nothing
between you and
I
for my body
is yours
my breath
belongs to your
lungs
my mouth is meant
to be placed

oh, ever so softly,
upon your own

my eyes
speak
your words
my hands
touch
the nape of your
neck
winding downward
spiraling
to your
lower back
muscles
ripped

my palms
electric

come here, my love
let me wipe the sweat from your brow
ease your tired mind
place your head in my
lap

and let me
love you
