Melt
I want to melt in your mouth.
I want to feel my legs weak
Under the warm air breathing into me,
To feel the tension of my body
Go soft from your heartbeat steady,
Unrelenting tempo.
To feel my once solid body
Liquidize as the waves of your words
Lap into me,
As everything goes limp and then stiff
With your electric touch and the fog
Rolling into my brain and I moan out
Your name, your beauty, whatever will make you
Stop don't stop I can't take it anymore
I'm coming to an end and
You've finished me.
And I wrap around you finally, spent,
A poem on the blank page of your body.
