Hello. I would appreciate feedback. After which, I would like to post it on the site.
Do you know that I want to tell you that I want to be naked with you forever,
naked like the salt on the cliffs and the lighthouses burning above them,
and that I want to dash boats against the rocks with you where the pigeons sing?
Do you know that I want to tell you that I want to touch the peace which falls
and waits for me like accumulated snow on your body, and that I want to kiss your
breasts with the heat of my mouth and the roughness of my face until your eyes
and nipples are like tiger fur?
Do you know that I want to tell you that I want to place my fingers, like dissolving decanters,
into your shining pink softness,and that I want to see you gasp and open your mouth until
all you can do is speak silence and show the stars your teeth?
Do you know that I want to tell you that I want to make love to you among the plantains
and pineapples, and that I want the tropical birds to make tropical sounds when we crush
the wild flowers with our wildness?
I know that I want these things, and I know that I will want them with you,
even without knowing who it is that you are or what it is that you look like,
because I know that how much water your body displaces when it sits in a bath,
or how high your hands can reach when reaching for an apple in a tree,
matter far less to me than whether you want to celebrate with your body and with your hands.
Yes, I know that I will want you every day, even without knowing what you look like today,
because I know that what colour your eyes and skin are from one moment to the next,
or what your proportions are when standing still or sitting in a chair,
matter far less to me than whether you want to wear the seasons like glory on your skin.
Yes, I know that I will want you tomorrow, even without knowing who you have been yesterday,
because what words you know and what books you may or may not have read,
or what school you went to and what jobs you can list on your long-form resume,
matter far less to me than whether you want to make love outside in the rain and
worship the world like creatures.
And do you know that I want to hear the papery sound the waves make when your
hands collect your dress up in white bunches and folds above your thighs and you
show me your desire like a photograph of the ocean, or that I want the earth to
be soft beneath you when your sweet, receiving nakedness asks me to put my body
on your body like fire on a burning ship?
And do you know that I want you to sit here with me while I write about wanting you,
and that I want you to want to put your hand in my lap, very sweetly, and to touch me,
gently, like a pink-tongued doe drinking from a pond, because you are as wild, shy and desperate
for me as I am for you, and that I want you to want to touch me until I cannot take it anymore
and I need to fuck your shuddering, giving body beneath the green swords of the pineapples?
I want you, like madness wants light I want you, and do you know that I will want you to want me the same
when I make love to you with my savage soul and imperil our names?
Thanks for reading.
P.S: I've had the idea of starting a website to embrace, celebrate and learn about my desire and soul.
I just made the website live and the poem (it is the only post) has the formatting I currently like on there.
