Distract me with either
the taste of you—one
which I shall never
forget—or the docile
caress of your hands,
a sensation to
reverberate beyond
time itself

Your enthusiastic “yes”
is the sexiest thing my
mind can possibly fathom—
Since I have a wild
imagination, that might
be saying a lot, but it's
true that a sexual diet
consisting only of
freely given consent
and excellent communication
is what satisfies my
appetite

I wrote this for my love for our anniversary. Words will never be enough, but that won’t stop me from trying. 🥹❤️

Happy Anniversary
FOR MY BROOKE

I want to write you the best love poem to ever grace a page,
But there's a massive immovable something
That keeps getting in the way.
Maybe the wondrous words made by a million other
Lovers
Or lines, Or couplets.
Make me fearful to try and fit you into stanzas,
Maybe it's because I am scared that once the words are on this paper
You won't need me to be their representative anymore;
Rewarding my sacred speeches of your softness —
Talking endlessly of my tributes to you—
Raving on and on
My recognition of your goodness.

You'd have all of my essence, And grit,
And boundless love
Etched right there in the palms of your hands.
Your fingers will trace the print of our love's epic-Lingering over the words I made up, Because there simply weren't any in our language That describe the feeling
Of seeing a night full of stars for the very first time, Being held by a supernova;
How do I say I'd live a billion light years if it meant the particles of matter of me—
The very atoms—
Could float next to yours?
How do I say I would master physics to fuse the energy of us forever?

Maybe I haven't written the poem yet because it is
Frightening to tell you in totality
Exactly what it is about you that breathes vitality into me,
To tell you I love you,
But not just how you love a partner.
I love you in the way the moon loves her sun—
The way you illuminate me.
I don't know how to say those things.
And I can never write that poem,
Because your existence on this earth, In this lifetime, Is the poetry itself.
