I can't ask your permission to possess you, so all that I do ask is that you Remember my lips when the rain kisses your brow. Remember my skin when the fragrance of the coconuts dances around you. Laugh when you pass by the corners where the clothes you tore away from my glistening body lay, back when we devoured each other. As you sway in the hammock, remember how you rested, cradled in my collarbone and in your dreams Squeeze, feel the weight of my ripened thighs in your hands. Taste my hands' work when spices tantalize your tastebuds. Be unafraid to say my name out loud when no one is around. Become comfortable with its particular pronunciation so that you can call to me, and call to me, and call to me. Think of me quietly in between your lifelines and when you need my love, beckon me. I'll be here, waiting.

My Banana Boat Lover
I can't ask your permission to possess you, so all that I do ask is that you Remember my lips when the rain kisses your brow. Remember my skin when the fragrance of the coconuts dances around you. Laugh when you pass by the corners where the clothes you tore away from my glistening body lay, back when we devoured each other. As you sway in the hammock, remember how you rested, cradled in my collarbone and in your dreams Squeeze, feel the weight of my ripened thighs in your hands. Taste my hands' work when spices tantalize your tastebuds. Be unafraid to say my name out loud when no one is around. Become comfortable with its particular pronunciation so that you can call to me, and call to me, and call to me. Think of me quietly in between your lifelines and when you need my love, beckon me. I'll be here, waiting.
