She Made Love To Me

life

she made love to me
 
I couldn't help myself
my will was weak
my spirit
vulnerable to impending moments of passion
let me tell you all about it
 
she wanted to make love to me
but didn't know how
and after the evening meal was consumed
we sat in the living room
together
just looking at each other
two restless panthers in a circus cage
feeling each other out
looking for the perfect opportunity to pounce
 
the Smokey Robinson cuts never failed
but it did tonight
 
the incense and candles
would always have us on the floor
knocking over chairs
lamps
anything that wasn't nailed down
prompting knocks on the door
or the floor
from angry neighbors downstairs
 
but tonight
she wanted to make love to me
 
so we sat there
and it began to happen
 
a conversation began about
something she saw in the news
I had seen it too
and we discussed its implications on our lives
our society
our people
 
I began to loosen my collar
  
we agreed on some points
disagreeing on others
but we continued to conversate on other topics
history
good books
good movies
people
places 'n things
 
I began to get the feelin'
 
we spent the night like lawyers in a courtroom
arguing and advocating our individual cases
and when the morning came
I lay prostrate on the couch
exhausted
satisfied
gratified
 
she wanted to make love to me
 
she made love to me
all night long
 
my mind climaxing
exploding into the atmosphere
 
I couldn't help myself
 
she made love to my mind
all night long
brutal
violent
unprotected love
 
tonight
we can do the Smokey Robinson
and worry about the neighbors
tomorrow
