Love Poem: Preparation

Preparation

Oh, I can see her perfectly;
the smile, the eyes, her figure.
It makes my efforts hasten
as I prepare to meet her.
A splash of the Obsession
as she is my obsession, 
as I hope to tease her 
with scent.
I select my best slacks, not
too loose, snug, but yet flattering
as I hope to tease her with sight.
I even moisten my shaved skin 
with lotion as I hope to tease her 
with touch. Though, my heart tells 
me loudly it’s not teasing that 
is being done rather 
tempting is more 
like it, as I prepare 
to meet
the one who tempts me.
