Body Candy


Today I found myself purchasing "Body Candy" - an "all natural product,  DO NOT EAT, Nourishment for the Senses, aromatherapy melt, skin moisturizer and massage bar".

The scent intrigued me, "spiced vanilla latte".  I love coffee, French pressed and rich with a splash of crème, the aroma captivates me, shakes me awake and grabs my full attention. You have mine.

The directions say to warm a 2" square in my hands until it is almost melted, then start the massage.  I love skin, the body's largest organ. I enjoy the sensation of my flesh against yours, no matter how that happens. You love massages and willingly strip.

I touch you and feel you slowly crumble into relaxation, the solid oil slowly melting from the heat of your skin
part of me longs to stay in this moment
this peaceful solitude
alone with you
no needs for words
My hands listen rather than manipulate or massage
they hear when relaxation occurs
You drift into tranquility
As your breath deepens
unconscious feelings, attitudes and memories
rise to the surface
and linger there
unspoken
unspoken but not unfelt
felt but not unheard
for silence is its' own language
belonging to lovers and those who mourn

Alone together
safe from harm
sacred time the soul needs and craves
Your heat penetrates me
As I absorb your stress

I have asked myself how to convert this
fire to water and then to drink
To quench your thirst
nourish your soul
to sustain you
and me







A lone Native American flute
plays an ancient song of our land
peaceful and melancholy
at the same time
It is my peace I give to you
exchanging it for the stress that consumes you
that zaps your energy
distorts your vision
makes you doubt yourself
I still believe in you
even when you do not believe in yourself

My hands continue to knead your tension
Silently, without words
I massage my love into you
Let me crawl inside of you or
let me lay by your side
beneath the stars
on this unholy ground
let me share your carnal desires
and love of life
let our bodies melt as one
then combust in raging flames
leaving just our ash pile with the earth
our mark in eternity
to be scattered near and wide
where the trade winds carry us

Surely you feel my hunger
my appetite
my thirst
Surely you've heard my unspoken prayer
asking God if you must go
that you quiet my pounding heart
steal my last breath
and take my soul with you
rather than leave me
to die
alone
without you
In this cold, lonely world
