Taking Inventory


"These are my eyes,"
he slid his thumbs slowly across her closed lids
"and these are my ears,"
he breathed, as he nipped each lobe in turn.
"This is my mouth,"
with a deep, thirst-slaking kiss
he laid his claim,
"and my collarbones,"
his fingers danced lightly down
each slope.
He laced his hands with hers
and held them up for her to see.
"These are my hands,"and he let them go to trace
the fine line of her back,"my back",
and then he trailed his hand up
from knee to hip to strong thigh,
"mine, mine, mine.
He laid his palm over her heart,
felt the quickening pulse and said,
"This is my heart."

Then he cradled the back of her head
in one large hand
and drew her down til she could hear
the thundering in his own breast.
"And this is yours."
