Rising
with every kiss left to linger,
to burn on my neck.
I sing hallelujah to the Muses
let Erato set inspiration
into my body by way of you.
Forced to be soft art and determined
craftsman as you elicit
form, a moan, words, a wave
from within me
by careful movement,
particular pleasings.
Every title comes with an end
and I settle into this one as I do your arms:
a delicate finish with your fingers tracing the shape of my ear.
