I wonder, were we... Roman lovers? with laurel wreathes and toga covers? Or maybe we were cowboy robbers? Maybe we were outlawed 'shiners. I just know that I know you from somewhere. This isn't the first go-round for you and me. We were something before in some kind of capacity   Maybe we we're royalty. Maybe you were betrothed to me; maybe we fought, and maybe you ruled, and maybe my father gave me over to you. I'll bet you were older, still. I bet I still argued with you. I bet I still kissed you like I had always loved you. Maybe you were married Maybe I was, too. Maybe we were strangers, or secrets from others, Maybe I married you. Maybe we had sons. Each just as handsome and strong as the next one. Maybe I worked for you, with you, or against you. Maybe I cracked your shell, Maybe you made me fall, maybe we were the other's glue. and I bet we still looked Just like we do now. I bet your eyes were that syrupy blue suede goo And I bet I still wanted you. Needed you. Baited you. Waited and stayed with you. I bet I still strung your world on a string. And I bet in whatever lifetime it was, we had the very best of everything. I bet we were a team. I bet we still undid the other at the seams. I bet you woulda died for me, Robin Hood. I bet you were a knight with cool armor and a sword. Or maybe I took care of you, Maybe we met in a tent,   you in camo stained with blood, a white skirt to my knees. Maybe I saved you. Maybe you saved me. Maybe you're my Daddy Warbucks, I always did find him **** Maybe we were patriots and met in a tavern. maybe on the Titanic and you spoke German Maybe we were neighbors. Maybe you were my professor, Dr. Indiana Jones. Just as **** in a classroom as you'd be   scoping out a tomb. There's something you emit that draws me back to a moment that's blurry and distant but I know that I miss it. If a thousand years ago you ran your fingers through my hair. or two hundred and twenty since the last time our flame flared, we're burning hot as and been in business just the same as Hell's furnance. Unpredictable as Vesuvius I think by now my old soul can smell yours a mile away. I think your eyes spill your secrets like broken flood gates. I think I've seen every micro expression cross your face at one point in all of my foggy visions, and I breathe in the vapors of what we can't remember and I'm soggy in your arms. Who knows how many of my lifetimes you've already charmed. And still I want you. And need you. And bait you. Wait and stay with you. Behind closed doors we could fill a room with the ghosts from our histories. I can remember that the moment you kiss me. This alchemy has existed for centuries.

Only my beloved could walk into NASA in Dickies, and work boots, with astronauts and business suits. Because my beau shoots for the stars He wages bright wars. He is clever and resourcefully smart. He's also hopelessly, harmlessly terse. And only my beloved could cut wood and cuddle seamlessly keeping close to me and keeping me warm. And his hands are perfect, and his eyes get hooded by his chocolate colored brows that I adore when he frowns. My beloved is handsome and strong. Princely and brawn. He keeps me safe warm and worn. He's broad walking charm, he's just a boy with a barn. Is it funny I said when I was a kid that I'd grown up to fall down for a man with a. farm?

A Man With A Farm
He-Man, Hulk or Hercules; it doesn't really matter to me. I wish you could see the man that I see. If pumping iron gets you off, or if it makes you feel more tough, it doesn't really matter to me. All you'll ever be is the man that I see. But don't lose your neck to dead lifts. And don't cover up that tiny little gut You're so quick to **** in. Stop smiling with your mouth closed; I already know about that crooked front tooth and it's stupid of you to try to conceal; I think it's cute. Your skin, it's perfect, your package is thick with all that testosterone you're keeping on tap. You're always worried or hiding all this or all that. Well, I love the man that lives in your chest. I love his heartbeat his laugh and his thoughts, his dreams and his wants. I love him despite flaws and well-muscled arms. I love him for what he knows what he tries not to show; I don't love him for the sinew or the dense, meaty tissue he's so eager to tone. I love him straight down to his bones. If you two ever meet, He's funny and sweet, inherently neat and bounding with energy 'til he falls asleep. He's smart and he's kind, and he's got a mind to do whatever he wants. Problem is, his confidence often, sets him stumped. But when he falters his guard, and comes out of his box, he can spark like a shock. I don't just believe in him, I wind up seeing clear through him, and he is amazing; capable of really anything. He's fire and intoxicating. I wish you could see the man that I see. Maybe you'd love him. And maybe put a little trust in him; it sure works for me.

For the first time in a long time I'm so scared to be alone. I'm scared you'll roll out, and leave me on my own. And what do you do when you're pushing thirty, and life's left you thirsty for love and stability? And how do you tell that to a handsome hillbilly? If it was corn, beans or guns, action movies or trucks, it'd be easy to discuss. I'd have no problem bashing welfare, or the system **** suckers. I'll happily sit for hours and ***** about world affairs, or gossip about others, but how do we talk, about us as a couple? And where is this going? And should I be showing any glimmer of hoping that I'm not just warming your bed for another brunette? How come You don't stay hard, If I still stay wet? Am I overreacting? Like a stupid girl, lashing at her own insecurities? Or is there a shadow of boredom I see. I'll say this much, at least; If you really do love me I'm like a mogwai; there are careful instructions that'll keep me from destruction. You've got to reassure me that I'm not only your only, but that you'll always wanna hold me. That despite a gold ring, and all those permanent things I'd never ask for, I've got to know that It's me you love and adore. That you're happy. Not complacent. That you're satisfied. Not satiated. That I still turn you on, that you won't do me wrong, that you think about me, find yourself missing me. That you still want to kiss me. That I've had an impact on your steely, stone heart, and that your big arms are grateful wrapped around me in the dark. Because from my side, I'm sold; not initially, no, but you grew on me, sneakily, like damp wood grows mold. And to be frank with you, sir, I'm still a bit leery of your seeming ability to take me or leave me, and your closed-lip approach on making it known that you'll always love me is troubling. And, so, If you won't..

Wish you’d spank me. Wish you’d drag me. Wish you’d make it known what you own. Wish you weren’t such a quiet man. Wish you were rougher with those strong hands. Wish you’d insist That I do your dishes. Wish you’d make me wear skirts; Wish you’d bend me over, then, before dinner’s served. Wish you’d let me fold your shirts. Wish you’d f*** me til it hurts. Wish I was your pretty, little, thin-waisted missy, and you kept your reigns tight on me. Wish you’d pat your leg,and invite me into your lap. Wish you’d let me curl up, beneath your muscles, all burled up, more often than not. Wish I packed your lunches, with little surprises, you’d be embarrassed if other men saw. Wish you’d oblige me with whispers of “ride me” and guide me when it’s so early, it’s blurry, but you’re already stirring. Domestic Clink, ain’t a bad thing, long as you got a fella you wanna call warden. Long as I have a fella I wanna call warden, It’s a retro kinda kink to stand in front of a sink. I’ll misbehave, clearly, But you’ll find it endearing, and I’ll do it with intention, to end up under your hand. A Mr. Don Draper to put his thumb over me. But I want him blue collar, and beefy, and solid, I don’t want whiskey and suits, I want beer and work boots, I want that to be you, Because that’s what I need; a good man to oversee me. I’m just here to please. I should have married in the 50s. Equality is boredom, I want a **** warden.

A Roughneck Don Draper
Today it seems the oddest thing; I think my heels are made up of springs. I’m bouncing and happy, And can’t help from smiling, and I wonder if that’s got to do with the fact That I woke up next to you, Your arm numb and dripping my drool. And it occurred to me, then that I’ve never seen a better looking man. Above me with your arms around me, your face perfectly content. And your blue, blue, blue, they-make-me-love-you eyes. Your energetic thighs. I can’t help but be rapt and start gasping for breath when we finish; A puddle of sweat, my hair, a wreck, and you, looking down on my face. That arrogant smirk you wear like a badge because I can’t help that you make my legs shake. I think I could do this forever. I think I’d get used to being that pretzel - parasitic and bound to your waist. I confess; you are the sexiest man that’s ever worn my taste.
