Ran across this earlier...LOVE!
Have you ever tried to describe a kiss? The closing of eyes. The feel of warm breath. The moment of anticipation that thrills the body before dewy mouths meet. Soft at first, but growing in eagerness. The opening of mouths, inviting tongues to dance. Bodies pressed warm and tight and writhing, like a blind man searching for every fleshy morsel of carnal knowledge his bodies hands can glean. Try it sometime.
Or even a hug. There are a thousand ways to hug, each suited to its own occasion. And each as intimate as the next. Each unique in its character and disposition and emotion. Everything is multiple endless, when seen through passionate, exploring eyes. Each night when I walk alone in the dark of the forest near the river, each time I meet the river herself, it’s always a surprise and a delight. Poetry speeks through all that I meet there. And those are just water and trees and sand and stars. Imagine then, how much more infinitely thrilling to lay on a woman’s shores and listen to poetry speak through all of her. Perhaps I am just a hopeless romantic. But it suits me, I think. And couldn’t imagine being any other way. Nor would I wish to.
