You are flawless
truly,
or near so
and every 'flaw' that dare presents itself
just adds a twist
to this imacculate pefection
that you seem to hold around you
right down to your very bones.

Your skin goes on forever
miles and miles of it
across the hills and valleys
of your muscled arms and back
and I don't think I'll ever miss
a single way to touch your body-
shoulders, stomach,
legs and arms
the smoothness seems to envelope
the molecules that make me up
and drown me in this skin to skin sensation.

I'm still in awe of how your body's curves
and mine
just interlock so perfectly,
the way things do when whole
then ripped apart
then joined again.

And when I think my senses can't withstand another instant
there's the way your breath slides in my ear
creeps down between my shoulder blades
and lifts the tiny hairs along my neck.

The way you spoil me with little things,
Kisses down my back
and roaming hands bombard me
over and over and over
like you know me so entirely
each secret written hidden in my skin
has been decoded
been transcribed and then translated
so that now you know the ins and outs
of every little bit of DNA that's in me
(Please feel free to read me every single page aloud.)

When smiling eyes so close to mine
can whisper every secret you have known
and when your kisses turn you inside out
so I can read each loving letter
scribed inside the soul of what you are...

You seem to make me whole again
when something there was missing,
like your giving all you have so freely
just to take and touch and trust in.

That's when glorious epiphany strikes live in me:
the weight of everything that's been between us
can't compare to how you kiss me
soft and fully clothed
explaining everything
through lips and tonguetips
perfectly and wordlessly.
