She Made Love To Me

CATEGORY

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
circling
like two restless panthers in a circus cage
feeling each other out
looking for the perfect opportunity to gain an advantage

the Smokey Robinson CD never fails
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
thangs

I began to get the feelin'

we spent the night like lawyers in a courtroom
trying our individual cases before an invisible judge and jury
and when the morning came
we 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 try to do the Smokey Robinson
again
and worry about the neighbors

tomorrow
