Words jingle enticingly between us
closer now
closer
moments ache with the anticipation
of camouflaged desire
your stubble softens
neath the humidity of my breath
Luxuriating near the bend of your lip
delighting in your sleight of hand
sibilant syllables samba
softly from my lips
ruffling through my reality
Some day the world will wonder
'was she just placing words on a page
or revealing tidbits
from her sordid memoirs?'
but tonight the sky will kiss me
a sultry goodnight
while visions of lust do a grinding salsa
on the well worn dance floor
of my grinning psyche
