Can I Taste You?

Beginning seven days of love:

Can I taste you?

Can I feel the girth

and weight of you

tickling the back of my throat?

Can I caress you with my tongue

feeling the velvet of your skin

against the tip of my tongue

leaving a trail along the surface

as I take all of you in

starting with your name.

I will start with tender kisses

dropping them on every line and curve

of first your name, then your body.

The switch up will be so quick

it might un-nerve you at first.

But this is something I’ve been

preparing for all my life

so I’ll go slowly. At first.
