How To Make Love To a Woman by Jared OrlandoTell her
softly
that you want nothing more than to
remove all of her
sadness
from her shoulders
watch it all tumble to the floor
every article of
pain
regret
incompleteness
shredded up, you should
push her up against the wall
whisper in her ear that
you want to be inside her
mind
you want nothing more than to feel
the way she thinks
pick up her legs
let them wrap around you
ask if she feels
safe
bring her to bed
let her feel your
weight
ask if she feels
weightless
put your mouth
on her mouth
breathe in
ask if she feels
breathless
feel vulnerable in the
embrace
of a woman
make her feel like
a woman
make her unsure if she wants to
laugh
or if she wants to
cry
and if she smiles
you may have even
made her feel

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 03/16/14 at 05:53 PM Riské but clever use of language to walk a fine line between innuendo and implied...underlying messages. |
Posted by Kris Mara on 03/22/14 at 12:55 AM fantastic...and that's how it's done. I love how you cleverly build this down the page...the drop of "mind" was brilliant... |
