Let Me

Let me lay you down

and caress your body’s curves

with my hands

like easterly winds in spring do

over Kilimanjaro

Let my lips run their course

on the soft skin of your upper body

kissing all angles

leaving no crevasses or beauty marks neglected

Let me hold you tight

with unconditional care

and our bodies warmth nurturing each others spirit

like a mother holding its first born child

in a land filled with infertility

Let my eyes survey your figure

investigating its perspicuous form

for any distinct features I haven’t already discovered

like a hawk over the African plains searching for prey

Let me rub you with organic oils

sending your heat and cold receptors

wilder than animals in the Amazon

bringing out the shine and rich color of your skin

to represent you as it should

Let my senses feed on your perfection

let them indulge in the essence of satisfaction.

let me be alone in the pleasure of appreciating you as art

let me Love everything there is to love about you

alone and uncontested
