Her softness comes slipping into my thoughts
like silk over her skin
Seducing defences with rapture
so that I can do naught but give in
Then trembling in my arms
she lays
With every touch and caress
my heart pays
Her eyes full of fire gaze
piercing my soul, my innermost
passions raised
Her quickening breath on my face
her musk intensifying
my heart begins to race
Lost in her beauty I will remain
Forsaking all the world around me.

carbon date me.
trace me back to my beginning.
my inception.
find the catalyst that brought me to this point.
to the me that exists in this moment
on this day
this point in the linear graph titled "MY LIFE"
trace it...
back.
back...
wait. stop.
there
that's it.
the metamorphosis point.
the moment this me began.
the unfolding of potentials,
the unweaving of my chrysalis.
the opening of avenues of thought and energy.
right... there.
see?
it's you.

We met in the summertime,
which I recall because the AC in his apartment
was mediocre at best,
and fans were splayed throughout the
white-walled space as we attempted to
keep cool.
His roommate introduced me,
as he sat with no shirt on,
perched on a wooden chair,
staring intently at a deck of cards.
I think the first thing I noticed was the dazzle of
his smile,
but I can't pretend my eyes didn't veer
to the perfect V that was on display
just above his basketball shorts.
His skin glowed a perfect shade of honey and
cinnamon
in the dim lighting
that emitted from the sole lamp in the corner
of the living room.
I became submerged in a blur of
card games and laughter
and an eerily similar taste in music,
so much so that I forgot it was not he
who I had come to see.
