HOT PARADE

I want to see your skin glisten

With the droplets of your hot bath

As you tread shyly towelled -

A parade that warms my heart and hearth.

I want to feel your body pressed

So cozy on me as I doze,

And the cuddle of your brown arm,

Your breasts divine in cute repose.

I want to feel the tickles

Of your dark hair so smooth and sleek,

As you rest in that hollow space I keep

Between shoulder and cheek.

I want to hear you breathing

As you swim the black night’s streams

And count the times you sigh

Or moan or speak in dreams.

I want to taste your sleepy mouth

When warming dawn replaces night,

As morning makes us restless

And desire grants us delight.
