Virgin

by Kristine Briese

Naked and expectant,
I lie on my back
and look up at
where you will be.
Your eyes, the shade
of an unfinished poem,
will blue down at me,
travelling roads I've
saved only for you.
Your fingers,
God's gentlest invention,
will follow with the
slowness of ages.
The prospect of your touch
ripples me like a pond.

On principle, I don't extract lines and lavish praise upon them. So, here I am, lavishing again - imagery and meanings beyond words, and here they are...
