Loving a Woman

Foreplay starts hours before the bedroom. Leaving a note on your car while you’re working, As flowers are delivered in bloom. Later, rubbing your feet to ease the hurting. Over dinner, listening to your day. Engaging every detail as your best friend. Like when we first met, still the same today. One of the secrets, don’t let the courting end. Drawing a bath with popping bubbles. Oils and a couple from the ice cube tray. Solace for a night from life’s troubles, Starting down through pleasure’s parfait. My right hand sliding from your face, Over the ear to your hair it grasps. Our lips flowing together in a slow pace, As my left hand massages your ass with tight clasps. Laying you down under the light of the moon, Candle’s flickers dance among our needs. A cuddle making a fork from a spoon. Hot wax drips the body’s tense pleads. My tongue traces each of your curves. To make them all mine this night. Each part given what it deserves. Knowing where and when to bite. With the right pressure on every button, Finding and keeping the perfect rhythms. Loving you French, Greek, and Russian. In and out of all the positions. Two finger tricks in love and smut. Just two inches in, then up. Making a pea become a walnut. While your hands hold your legs like stirrups. Opening that box of our toys. Black leather with whips and chains. Clothes lines and collars employs Us playing Asphyxia’s dangerous games. From each encounter, perfecting my skill set, And if your heart ever turns to another, Your mind and body to never forget, When once and still I be, your greatest lover. ------------------------------------------------------------ Contest: Hotsy Totsy Sponsor: Rachel Firmin Written: 02.14.15 *Forever grateful to Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg (1881-1957) and every woman I’ve ever known*
