Play with Me
Click below to here me read this poem.
If I had my way and I could play
You like a saxophone
I’d wet your reed and make you hum
Whilst fingertips along your spine would run
Then make you serenade me espressivo
In that bedroom voice, in that sandy tone
Love made to me acapela, solo
And there would be rhythm
Steady as a metronome
And time, plenty of time
If you were a gift, wrapped shiny and tied
A surprise at my doorstep to me from you
I would pull the ribbons nice and slow
Dragging their satin across your skin
Just to watch your goose bumps grow
There is a deliciousness in the unveiling
And the cutting of tape and fingernails trailing
As paper falls away and its bounty revealed
Anticipation admittedly, I like best
Eventually laid amidst a crumpled foil nest
If your body was some brand new toy
A thing of pleasure just for me
What fun I’d have devising games
That only you and I would play
Without your interests in my mind
Would quickly find my tongue
About your peach fuzzed ear
Drawing tastes along, beneath, behind
Until my appetite calls me south
Exploring, orally I would go
And thankfully would not suffer
With yesteryears’ salt and bitter
Instead I’d dine on this sweet nectar
Like mango juice dripping off my chin
Once tasted
Covet each drop I’ve wasted
If you were a boy made manifest for me
A favor granted from the gods
Your body a play thing strictly for my pleasure
At beckon call a trove of manly treasures
Selfishly filling my wants desired
Short lived they would be apart from yours
For in your bliss I find my own
In the space between your sighs and shudders
My passion rests in its new home
The player becomes the played
For if you asked me this
There is no inch I would not kiss
