Love Poem: Octopus

Octopus

would, that there were four of me
the ways that I could pleasure thee

each tentacle to tender tickle
fancied freckles, firm or fickle

one all-at-once massage, divine -
all hands on deck, in grand design

perceptive palms with petting jives
could raise a rash of ‘rotic hives

oh, goosebumps of the finest kind
quadrupled thus to blow your mind

four tens of fingers, fixed just SO
to warm the embers down below

mass touches placed with dermal love
bear moans from zones rare spoken of

pray how could one but NOT adore
a mate like me, (and mine) …

times FOUR?!?
