can you

can you get past the layers
of satin and silk,
past the levels of expectation,
can you reach the moment
where I am there,
not blazing with moonbeams,
but a woman who trembles
to be touched?
Can you see beyond the legend,
and still reach out
to loosen the pins and the stays,
will the pert lower lip
still entice you
when it is only mine?
Will you understand
if the hands shake,
if the touch is at first
not knowing---
will you be willing to take me
to a place where
my heart and my body
are beating at the same pace,
and the point of commencement
will be a sticky silent moment
when you join flesh to mine,
find movement and fluid,
and find me---
just a woman
waiting to drown
in the pool of you?
