She smells of grapes from the
vineyard, sweet and earthy
toned like her melanin pigment.
O’ I wish a slight hint of her
warm floral letting its villus
hairs tickle my senses.
If I close my eyes, that I could
come to appreciate perhaps
witnessing consent to go on.
If I keep them closed for long
enough maybe it would come
to fruition that I wasn’t wrong.
While she’d press lips to my
forehead before guiding me
down gently to savor the glory.
Palming the crown before her,
nails striping my scalp like she
was a Tigress ready to feast.
Mm…
She’s like something right out
of history, feline eyes gazing down
on mine like she had an epiphany.
Our spirits were always aligned
from a time before time was
kept, she’d say, they just had to be.
Mm, then she’d straddle me,
her vines locked at my waistline
ready to make time go away.
We’d make love for the first
instant, but it wouldn’t feel like
that love was ever even late.
We’d go on to relate, mind,
body and soul like a birth
right under the midnight.
Then we’d cry our tears of
joy wiping the others check,
astounded at the sight.
