YOU STIR ME

 
You stir me, woman
With all I see.
Your charms.
Your eyes.
Your sensuality.
I touch you
With my mind
And find
Excitement welling.
A fire.
Desire
To be with you;
To lie with you.
Call it if you will
Just lust
But trust
In your instincts
And your feelings.
Reeling
If you have them
Now.
Somehow.
But I would not want
To share with you
A feeble, fumbling moment.
Not a time
Induced by wine
In which the memories
Are but a hazy recollection.
Fleeting figments
Of a fashion.
A vague memory.
Of soon forgotten passion.
No.
But I would go
With you to a special place
No disgrace
No loss of face
An embrace
That means forever.
Even if it is just for now,
I'd bow
To your femininity
And look you in the eye
I'd try
To be loving.
Gentle with you.
Making seconds last a lifetime
No crime
To feel each tender touch
So much
To gain.
No pain.
No remorse in the course
Of seeking mutual pleasure.
That which I seek to treasure.
The slow release
Of your buttoned blouse.
Just to hold your breast
Gently in my shaking hand.
And to understand
Every mounting moment.
To feel your firmness
Through lace with satin trim.
No whim.
No sin.
Ah! Your warm, naked body
Pearl in the misty moonlight.
Your sighs -
The sonnets of your soul
Glide me into that oneness with you.
Let me feel your heartbeat,
From within.
And when sweet release rises,
Bursting on us both like a tropical storm,
Just hold me woman.
Please,
Keep me warm.
