Knowing You

 

I caress your naked back                  

                        with a sweating palm.    

I run my longing fingers             

                         along your delicate spine.    

I count your nodding vertebrate                 

                       in my head.                 

                       And I kiss each of them,                            

                                               as I move closer                                            

                                                                     to you

                                                                               in bed.    

 

I know your naked body                          

                                       too well by now,                                          

                                                                  all too well,                                          

                                                                  all too well.      

 

Every bone.     

Every crevasse.    

 

And I have experienced                          

                                    so well                                 

                                              the sensuous pleasures                                     

                                                    that you exude.    

 

And I know          

              all there is to know                          

                                  about your changing moods,                                

                                               your bouts,                                

                                               your spells.                                

                                               Your spells.    

 

Hell.    

 

I know you              

                all too well by now,

                                       all too well.                                  

                                      All too well.
