Come Hither

I want to take the time to get to know you. 

Introduce myself slow in eye-contact 

and witty banter. 

Making my presence known,

over Chianti we start a conversation; 

seemingly innocent questions 

like finger play 

down the tender slope of your neck. 

I will make you relish your honest beauty. 

I will make you come undone. 

I want to see your head thrown back, 

skin glistening, 

chest pounding, 

muscles screaming

over and over

in the sound of your voice 

heavy and coarse.

You are absolutely ravishing 

in nightly heat 

and the after glow shines 

into the untimely chords of morning.

Hate not the here and now.

I could be the greatest lover you’d ever know 

and still no one you’d want to love. 

I wouldn't want you to. 

I am a jack of all trades, 

a space cowboy; 

I'm thousand faces 

and a million words. 

I give you the best parts of myself 

and mourn silently the sacrifice.
