mango + honey

swollen to bursting

mango juice

dripping

down the

tender

inside of

my thighs

[you look thirsty]

i find myself alert in

the quiet solitude

of 2am,

fresh sheets caressing

my skin

dried on the line,

they smell of

fresh late-winter

air but

I'd rather

they smell a bit

more human,

more like your skin

after a day in the sun,

more like your hair

after a soak in the river

shifting under my

restless self,

they slip over

a firm

mattress but

I'd rather

they crease under

the weight of your body,

as the crater you

make on the right side

of the bed

shifts me into your

outstretched arms

[from the left side of the bed]

i can pretend

my lower back,

facing upward and

licked by these

clean sheets,

is also licked by

your strong, searching

hands

hands that are

soft and exploring,

lightly running over

my rolling hills

hands that are

angular and dominant,

squeezing and claiming

my body,

holding my waist with

the force of

desire and reverence

trickling down to

clasp my hips

with your

wanting and honoring

fingertips

where will you go

and

take me next?

[celebrating me with your hands]

the guava pink

of my breasts, my

needing

searching

yearning

nipples

hardening to the

expectation of you

aching to dance

under the silkiness of your

loving

knowing

directing

celebrating

hands

[let me feel your authority]

ruin me.

use your sexual power

and wield it against me

for good

ruin me

like hair undone

by a warm, flavorful rain

ruin me.

penetrate god

into my body

ruin me

like a careful plan

forgotten to

a day spun in

delightful chaos

[surrender]

take me

under you in the cool grass;

between you and the flat front door

take me

from behind in the

just-cooked-in kitchen;

by the throat;

in your lips as i ease my open my legs

take me

bonded,

aching for you to dominate me

take me,

hands in my hair,

holding my face,

watching my eyes and mouth

with wonder and admiration

as i come into full bloom

[take me as i am, take as i come]

you know what

to do with those hands -

the ones i watch

hungrily

through the day

my body is aching

for you to play

upon her

she remembers

your last

piece

and you

played

so well

[let me be played - instructions for loving me well]

[put the dishes down - i'm hungry for your hunger]

your leadership

your resilience

your cycling

your organizing

your presence

your style

your listening

your readings

your kindness

your illustrations

your directness

my cunt

throbs

for your

king behavior

[don't mind the drip]

the wrinkles on my face

the dip in my collar bone

the hollow in my hips

the dimples on my back

the temple between my legs

have been

waiting

for you to

trace them

[drawing practice]

ease my legs open and

the rolling hills of

my sacred grounds between

will rise

wantingly

into swollen lips

dripping

with

the need for

you to

taste my

surging waters

[kissing with tongue]

bite

my ear

softly

and watch

me unravel

[release]

how do i already know

your touch but

want to feel you

for the first time,

again

[firsts and alreadys]

hello again

thank you for coming

we find ourselves

back here

shocked into life

by one another

and feeling the

fog lift as if

from a near life dream

[we meet again]

i love you and i have

nothing to do with it

i love you and all i can

do with it is offer

it to you

may it bring you

peace

company

comfort

warmth and

joy

[an offering]

exploring the honeyed

world between my legs

i eased back

and felt the

warmth and

wetness of

myself

ready

for you

[slide in]

will you

rock

me hard enough

that my

ass claps

breasts bounce

thighs shake

back arches

hips dance

neck bends

hair sways

will you

rock

me rough enough

that my

cunt drips

opens

squeezes

rhythmically to

your thrust

will you

rock

me rude enough

that you

ram me

ruin me

ravage me

[in reverent violence]

my breasts

and ass are

plumped

bulging

hanging

ready

for you

to cup them

to feel them

swelled to

ripeness

[pick me]

brushing past you

while you

cook us dinner,

i feel you

rock hard

beneath your pants -

ready to be undone

unhooking your belt

with my left and

unraveling your willpower

with my right,

i trace your aching

bulging

kingdom

[something to do with my hands]

you brush up

behind me and

anchor in between

my ass cheeks,

letting me feel

how hard

you are for me

i lift my dress up

to my lower back

to show you

my body has been

waiting for you,

wondering when

you'd come

searching

you slip yourself

from your briefs

to show me

your

shaft has been pulsing

and your

tip has been dripping

sticky sap

i lick my lips and

spread my ass cheeks

apart

you graze your shaft

down the small of

my back

leaving traces of what

i already want

exploding

inside

of

me

my wet

throbbing

honeypot

sips you in

your hand grips my hips

and the other bends me

over

the counter,

my back arched and wanting

under your hungry push

i circle my hips back,

greedily taking

more of you in

i scream in pleasure

giving you permission

to do as you like with me

for a little while

you fuck wisdom

grace

love

reverence

abundance

into my flesh,

deep into my bones

you fuck god + goodness

right back into me

where it belongs

[a conduit for prayer]

pull my face i

toward your hips

let lips taste

your sticky drip

let my mouth take

you in

rock my head to your rhythm

feel my throat kissing your tip

thrust faster

slower

faster

explode

and watch me swallow a

mouth and

throat

full of your honeyed cream

[fuck my face]

dessert

can wait

it's been months

and all i'm

hungry for now is

for you to

undress me

whisper to me

hold me

enter me

i'm starving

for you to

pulse in me

thrust in me

reach your edge

in me

erupt in me

i'm craving

for you to

start an

earthquake

in my body

[leave my earth shaking]

the tin roof pings

as we watch

sky water and wind

creating chaos on the

other side of the window

you roll around

to face me,

knowing you can control

my storm

how to

lick

flick

graze

suck

bite

tease

my body

is yours for

the feasting

my legs

wound around

your heads

as you taste and stir

a violent current

in my waters

i melt

and

flood

your thirsty tongue

with my rivers

[taste of the rainy season]
