Offer Words

 

Knees kiss concrete

no shame

as I wait 

for you to want me

to claim me

on this 

cold floor

if you must

for just 

the briefest of lifetimes

own me 

in your own way 

across the room

down the longest 

of halls

against 

the hardest of walls

through to

the 

bedroom 

door 

have me 

if you need it

on the bare floor

I am bared 

more 

by that look in your eyes

than the swift slip of silk

down these 

wanton thighs

I 

am 

honest 

in my need 

to be free of these restraints

of shoes

and clothes

and not  be a good girl 

I want hair 

undone 

spread like paint 

on the pillow 

behind my head 

I want you 

on one

and two, and three

attempts to make me beg

for a let go 

for another round 

of yes

so 

we can test the integrity 

of this bed 

of your best 

of your ability to make me

speak another tongue 

from lips 

swollen from your kiss

this...yes this 

is what I seek 

without shame or

wile, or artifice

please perfect the art of this

on my ever willing 

self 

I am many things

on any given day

but tonight

I am 

a woman 

full

flesh

fixed tight

so as to be unwound tonight

in the most 

delicious 

ways 

do stay 

and I will 

offer me

soft

warm 

sweet

on a silver plate

of Egyptian sheets

I will

offer me 

ready to be 

uncovered 

at your leisure 

as long as you

start right now 

stoke this flame

stroke for stroke 

so that I'll see your face

but I'll forget 

your name 

and call for God 

for hours

for hours

till the sun 

rejoins the sky 

I will 

offer me 

without reservation 

or regret 

if you 

will only 

say

yes
