Exploring Your Body

I never used to be interested in exploring;

but when I saw your body for the first time,

I memorized every contour like a captain knows every inch of his ship.

I know every mole and freckle on your pale skin;

Each one more perfect than the last,

that they make the stars looks like mere specks of dust.

 

There is something captivating

about the way your stomach dips in like an ocean wave

every time I kiss the scar on your chest

that you got from when an ex stabbed you with a screwdriver

and I adore how your eyes light up like a flame

when I tell you that I want to take my exploration one step further

and make love to you.

 

When we collide,

your body feels like the missing piece

to mine

and I wish that I could have your skin pressed against me

until the end of time.

 

Your body is a book

that I have read from cover to cover;

staining the pages with my touch along the way.

This is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, and romantic, and it pains me to say this, probably should have a mature tag -- uGGH -- sad, but true. Love it, darling, and it is going in the faves.

A quirky sort of love poem, it was all stardust until the part where the ex stabbed him with a screwdriver, but that's real life, n'est ce pas? ;-) Sometimes love isn't all wine and roses. Enjoyed.

A beautiful, sensory journey that engages the reader's interest with each line...."when I tell you that I want to take my exploration one step further"........

"and I wish that I could have your skin pressed against me..."
these are my two favourite lines....
