Yesterday I noticed that everything was love.

Yesterday I noticed that everything was love.

 

The trees were drenched in varied hues.

 

Some had crowns of red which dripped down and splashed the lower branches

 

Some had leaves that seemed to smile and tease

 

Each leaf ringed with a red lipstick and thrust out for a kiss

 

Or like a breast held for suckling, the very tip a reddish nipple.

 

The Sumacs showed their inner flesh in reddish wine

 

And ripe for licking.

 

Fluorescent Orange trees flashed against the green

 

Next to maples with leaves like dark and brackish blood.

 

The alien green possession of the trees is slowly disappearing

 

To reveal their real golden yellow, earthy brown.

 

And when you are in my arms and gasping,

 

I feel your own true essence as it emerges

 

The red spots on your cheek,

 

The warm and penetrating glances,

 

Your limbs as they are thrashing in some inner breeze

 

The autumn orgasm of life as it shoots out

 

To fill my mouth with liquid colour,

 

To fill my eyes with rainbows,

 

To fill my heart with overflowing love.

In the room standing naked

In the room standing naked

 

Your beauty shines through every pore.

 

These fingers, lips and tongue are but the tools to join us closer.

 

You reach out your arms to enfold me, your breasts are lifting to my mouth

 

As my head descends to you, to marvel at your wonders

 

Like an antique traveler in unknown territory, pausing and tasting the delights that he sees along the way.

 

I long to kiss and touch the outer sheath that is your body

 

Like the slow explorer and careful hunter to sniff and wonder

 

And like the train across the hills to lick the valleys up,

 

And press my soft caress into your soul to give it comfort.

 

I feel my skin is melting in the presence of your wanting

 

It drips from off my body and leaves me denuded to the core.

 

And when we embrace it is our insides that are clinging to the fiery centre of our common sun.

 

And I am astounded to be in the presence of your desire

 

Your sighs and lifting legs that rest upon my shoulders

 

Your knees drawn back and your open mouth that’s panting

 

As if we’re birthing some astonishing marvel of purest pleasure.

 

And when you groan and shudder, I feel you melt into a flowing liquid

 

That could be the ocean of our beginning. 

 

I am the swimming cell that seeks its mate in your being,

 

Filled with love and as vast as the ancient sea.

 

I see your smile like a half moon in a darkling sky

I see your smile like a half moon in a darkling sky

 

The corners of its crescent lifting

 

And pulling my spirit upward.

 

A warm and gentle welcome

 

While you stand naked blushing,

 

A bold assertion of yourself

 

And a hiding of the wounds you’ve gathered over time.

 

An opening into your inner soul

 

Encircled by enamel guards

 

That yet let in a ray of light

 

Into the darker depths

 

Where I can glimpse

 

Your tongue just resting.

 

A Mona Lisa face whose smile is broader

 

That both conceals and lets me see the truth

 

Of a love that’s growing

 

Like a loaf that’s baking

 

Hot and moist with yeast.

 

And is that the secret you’re revealing

 

When you smile?

 

Your smile which I must see,

 

For which I’d give up my daily bread.

 

Oh  please deliver me!
