Persuasion
by Melissa Arel
Your eyebrow lifts in a perfect venetian arch,
a charming grin spreads languidly across your mouth
releasing a bellowing laugh straight from nirvana.
These enveloping arms, so strong and yielding
melt my skin with just a touch; oh one look from you
and I am undone, lost in your sienna eyes and virility.
My heart tumbles within my chest as you lean in for a kiss
your voice is warm, inviting, and I am easily persuaded.

I especially liked the words "releasing a bellowing laugh straight from nirvana".
