Seduction of a Poet

She slips into my presence 
as I sleep, or think, or breathe; 
to kiss my lips without a touch, 
with movements of fluid ease. 
I sense all that is woman 
by her femininity; 
she is my heart's desire and
all the passions which so please. 

With my rough hands at work 
or the taste of honey sweet; 
the fragrant flowers’ bidding 
will be an aromatic treat. 
When life's music is a love song 
and her voice a melody, 
do I add another stanza 
that could bring her to her knees? 

Her loveliness does consume me 
as I sense her soft request; 
visions of her beauty 
bring out my very best. 
My fingertips are longing 
for the touch of silky lips, 
or to glide upon the shoulder, 
over breasts or waist and hips. 

I close my eyes again tonight 
and listen to erotic pleas, 
as my memory takes a journey 
of the words she evokes with ease. 
I let my longings take me higher 
in the fervor of her song, 
may the medley of her sultry sighs 
be the drive that makes me strong.
