She was cloves
with an after hint of an airy vanilla tea.
She would swagger into a room and
bring me to my knees,
as a pious man before
an icon of a most beloved saint.
She would lay her hands upon me
and send my skin to electric life,
and my heart into a whirlwind of flutters,
like a child opening a present,
as if revealing the answers to the universe
under ribbons and decorative wrapping paper.
I would kiss her feet
and drink in her ambience.
I would be drunk upon her entirety.
She would need not say any words
just to be in her silence with her
was like being in the presence of
kings and angels.
I would pledge myself to her,
to everything that was her,
to everything she would become.
She is an unspoken mistress
and I, her unspoken slave.
We both know our roles,
but no words were ever necessary
to outline our heirarchy.
She could walk into a room
and I would die a million deaths
just to be at her feet,
just to be near her.
As the moon through lace
brought us to paled blue
and white as bones
I explored your scape.
Curving hills to soft lush valleys.
You were a marble effigy of perfection.
I held you firm in my arms
and folded you
like a paper doll.
I bent you in half,
being careful with the creases,
transforming you into
a paper swan,
bringing you to the heights
of flight.
You cried out
as birds in flight so often do
and I held your hands,
pressed to pillows,
crossed through hair
tussled and wild.
After landing,
I held you with a librarian's trust,
delicate as dragonfly wings,
soft as paper swans.

Anxious to read this, as I watched you type this, I did as soon as I could.
You baffle me sometimes, you know.
You slay me with words, you know.
Bringing me to choked throats, constricted with plum-sized lumps, I read this, I remembered this, I knew this, and I was this, and so were you.
Always, your words.. always your words.
I stumbled in and found myself transfixed.
A somber melody trickles
through this shadowy room.
Your voice floats across
smoky and erotic,
sending me hours back to
the arch of your back
and the subtle salt of your skin.
The rose tea scent
of the curve of your hips.
Your gentle gasps
as fingers glide
and hands clutch curves.
And now in silly accents
you tansform from goddess
to this heart's illumination,
during this afternoon interlude
of rediculous stories and
dreams spoken aloud.
