For You

I want you
all of you
from the top of your head (with my hands
fisted in your dark hair)
to the soft flesh of your feet
I know your body better than my own
Even now, 150 miles and 10 days from you
I can see it laid out before me
All hard angles and soft skin
I want to taste that sweet spot where
your neck meets your shoulder
and see how my body fits against yours.

I want you
Slowly at first, patiently
We both know it won’t take long
before you have me out of my own mind
and stretched out like a canvas
pale and unblemished, waiting
for the bright hues you spread
with impassioned brushstrokes.

I hope you know
I am for you
and only you.
