Taking Time Jina Kaye
Take your time...
Get things right...
As I reach for you in my darkest hour
Know that my deepest fear is your power.
It's like you casted a spell on me;
and my heart is asking to be set free.
No...
You hold me within your arms,
caressing me, seducing me
with your charms--
your words, your eyes, your voice, your smile...
Everything about you drives me wild.
But it's too soon, I've been hurt recently.
For this man did not treat me decently.
I have trust issues
and I'm trying not to blame you.
I need time to get myself right.
Being in your arms feels so right,
I hope I am not leading you on,
The way you make me feel...it's so exciting...
so why am I fighting this feeling...is that so wrong?
Your lips brush against my neck,
your breath so warm and sweet.
Your hands kneading and squeezing
my shoulders...my back.
I arch into you, moaning your name.
Surrender, you whisper,
Let me take away your pain.
I will show you love...
Let it shower you like rain.
Just come with me now,
Let me hold you,
-- show you,
--entice you,
to feel the healing I will perform.
Love is not about fucking,
it is about giving ourselves to one
another in the most
--physical,
--mental,
--spiritual way...
My heart has yearned for you since the day my eyes collided with yours
I swore, then, that you would be mine...to cherish, to honor, to protect and to love.
I know our time has been short, Angel, but please know--
whether it's been 3 hours, 3 days, 3 months, 3 years, 3 decades or 3 centuries--
my love for you will not fade. Yes, I said my love for you.
I love you--all of you--from your pretty smile and wide eyes to your sassy attitude during your menstrual on a full moon! Now, how do you feel?
Confused, and scared and charmed. You say all the right things, Are you just using me?
Never...
Then why me?
Do you not know your own power? You make me fall to my knees. Let me di that now, and slide my hand up your thigh. I wish to pray and worship at your altar...let me just dip my tongue...
Yes...
Mmm, so sweet. Let me do that again...
More...
See, that is love--let me show you.
Now I know what you mean. Show me, please, let meknow what love
is--how making love is like...
Yes...

"I often find that it is so easy to put words on paper.. Instead of saying them out loud... And in these times that we spend talking to paper... The mind knows what it wants to say... But the lips want say until we put it on paper... OK! Let me use the common word; love your work... BrokenWordsPoet......" -- James W. McRight Jr., Ruffin, SC, USA.
