through a mans eyes

[Claire Heavens 51771]

I sat down in my most comfortable chair
The one with the reclining back
And plush leather seat
I folded my legs
Laced both hands in front of my face
starring into her eyes

And I told her to strip

The lines of aversion and horror
Spread gleefully across her brow

She did what she was told

First came her shirt
Up and over her head
Her navel winked at me

Oh what a lovely tummy
I kissed

Next came her leggings
Down one leg and down the other

I saw remnants of a forlorn misery
Carved into her thighs
I traced them with my tongue

Her face turned crimson red
Her skin turned to goosebumps

And I read all her failures and faults
Like the saddest and most beautiful braille book
She moved my very soul to weep
I saw in her what I neglected in me

I stood and walked to her
Taking in her entirety
Embracing her fully
Inhaling her hair
Which sent me to meadows
Tasting her lips
Which sent me to the moon
Feeling her hips
Which sent me dancing among stars

We didnâ??t fuck
We didnâ??t make love
We embraced each others souls
We fell into forever
Together
