Dear Lover, by Lori Jenessa Nelson - HTML preview

Dear Lover,
I sat in sweat and stale beer
from the bar
on a couch of dark leather
in your apartment
I watched you
Smile
 while you unbuttoned your collared shirt
I blushed a reddish shade of blue
for I do think
I have never seen
a naked you before
beneath a shower rain
you sprayed water in my face
and we danced last night
and it was already floating away
becoming a warm memory
your hand pressing
against my back
our spines twisting
as one 
candy cane sweetness
intoxicating
I wore your hair
on my ears
felt the warmth
of your exhale
on my lips
your skin caressed me
your warmth drew me in
I was falling and flying
your heart was singing
a song I’d never heard before
but my body knew your rhythm
I think my heart knows you
my fingers trembling
stroking the skin of your throat
and you were a dream
I whispered sonnets to
let my heart hold your love
while your heart is
holding mine
