The Catch

...

You engulf me
In whirlwinds of emotion
Fueled by an epicenter of love
I’ve imagined you
In vivid dreams and mind wanders
But our reality is ultimately
What my heart yearns for
My tongue ponders revealing three sweet words
If they slip I’ll live unnerved
Because eventually I see them dedicated to you
I feel love when I think of a future with you
And I apologize if this is direct
If I crossed a boundary by presenting you with honesty
But honestly my love for you has no patience
And time waits for no man
I’d rather no seconds wasted
When I’m sure what I’m feeling is true
… Actually I’m quite certain I love you

When I finally say I love you

Know the proclamation is not an attempt

At sweeping you off your feet I’ll simply be a man

Expressing to you exactly how I feel

The honest tongue and open thought

May magnify my hearts appeal

But please note in this moment

When I’m unapologetically me

When I lay my heart, my desires, Along with my pride at your feet

Know every word escaping my mouth

Is insured by my inner being

I say the phrase beyond a shadow of a doubt

Aware of all intent and meaning

Hoping you understand

That I’ll forever love you

....

She said my voice alone
Makes her touch herself
In places she wishes
My hands could reach
The confidence in my tone
Has made her inhibitions
Somewhat of an easy breach
I’ve given her the opposite 
Of a monotone romance 
The treble in my speech 
Sends her into a trance 
Where my distant sweet nothings 
Can be felt along her body
As if I poured my soul into her pores
Filling her with her favorite parts of me
Revealing my want for her with conviction
Using brash inflection as a weapon
Causing her hidden desires
To completely surrender to me

While laying bare among the nothingness the day will bring
I wished you were here
Bodies intertwined, flesh upon flesh 
Priorities at rest
Our beautiful lazy mess
A marathon of us 
Love in minimal movements
Soothing, the way your presence 
Always calmed me at the core

Because She's Eye Loving Me

Communicating
Through eye contact
Dilated pupils 
Ensures desire is mutual
Arousal amid the gaze
Of our retinas
In conjunction with subtle 
Body language 
In view of strangers
Who can’t decipher
Our stares
Fingertips through her hair
Conceals thoughts of sin
My smirk, her grin
Secrecy 
Yet exhibiting
Passion 
Behind the lashes
Bedroom eyes
In disguise
Licks of her lips
As if 
I’m the lust she’s never tasted
Tasteless
The way our fantasies
Bleed and run free

​May I
 Ask you a question
 You might find intrusive
 My desire is to learn you &
 Understand who you are
 Never have I found a topic this
 Attractive, flipping through the pages of your mind
 Seamlessly connecting eager thoughts
 Undeniable the impact you’ve had on my life
 Finally able to convey this
 Infinitely grateful you’ve opened your book

Send Me Something Sexy

Reading your terrain as if your skin was covered in braille

Guiding my fingers across each beautiful stretch mark into the canyons that house your wettest waters

I’ve explored your valleys

Made you peak as I descended into the caves where life is made

I’ve surveyed you from afar

Loved you in close proximity

Took sips from your inner well

Drilled with intentions of hoping you’d spurt, up, the essence held inside you that have naturally built up

I’ve prospered inside of you

Dangerous Bliss

She is my favorite drug

Swimming through my veins

Numbing all this pain

Our rendezvous bring ecstasy

I’ll make sure she comes again, then I’ll follow

She is a tough pill to swallow

I’ve always been downer

I’d be lost without her

I’d take her any chance I could

Up to no good

Feigning for a hit

My addiction was bliss

Kept her on the tip of my tongue

That’s where she loved to be

So high when she opened her thighs

She took control of me
