Naked Eyes

        It's your naked eyes
        that make women want to touch you --
        their knowledge gently reaching into the center of everything.
        I see your hands stroking the air,
        shaping it into meaning,
        Your smile slowly opening
        softening into joy, thrusting into laughter.
        I hear your private voice
        richer than any public echoes of yourself.
        I want to touch you
        to fill you with my hunger
        to take yours into me
        into the depths of my being
        where the thought of you has been held for so long,
        to know myself and have you know yourself in me,
        My mouth playing out its respects
        upon your manhood, soon to enter me,
        your tongue adoring me
        as I open myself to you.
        Flesh embodies soulful love.
        The taste of you is sweet --
        sweeter secrets --
        I am the only one
        who knows --
        the taste of you --
        sweet --
        And still
        it is your naked eyes
        that make me want
        to touch you.
