gazing into your sparkling eyes
hypnotizes all rational thinking
leaving me paralyzed and speechless
as every thought gathers raw desire
to kiss, hold, and make love to you

your appetite is wild and beautiful
more than any man could ask for
like the forces of nature you move
with a powerful, yet gentle symmetry
overwhelming my mortal spirit

your touch heightens all sensations
and sends my heart skipping across
the raging waters of our ancient pain
oblivious to the currents and undertows
reaching the banks of a take me smile

embracing your warm, moist body
opens a gateway to a secret meadow
with colors swirling like springtime birds
and exotic, tropical flowers swept
into a kaleidoscopic world of passion
