Two Poems

BLACK VELVET STILLNESS
Surround me
with that black velvet stillness,
like when we dance so close.
Around my neck
let it wrap itself,
like your arms,
like the softest scarf.
Let it flutter in our breath
as we pause, chest to chest,
hesitating, not in doubt,
but for the surest second.
There, on the insides of the music,
with us standing in the center of its room
where rhythm hangs on the walls,
almost stilled in the slowness of time,
we will begin.
We will become the shadows.
LONGING
Wanting to be held so simply
just arms around
just touching, breathing in
together.
to feel softness curved round, around,
against, the warmth, the willow
of flesh, shade from so much,
resting place of lazy recline.
imagining your body, the curves
of my desires edged against the tightness
of thin cloth holding you, the colors
capturing your skin penetrating
the cotton, nylon, wrapped around
the boldness of your offering like small
waves around rounded stones at the land’s edge.
supple
as though your skin were only a film covering
over liquid
or the most delicate flesh velvet petal...
to feel your touch so real and present...
I wish, I wish.
I would swallow you in my arms
dissolve between your thighs
and bury my being into that corner of
your neck, one inch below your ear
and tucked under your chin, that eternal
spring that makes love
to me with its glorious scent.

    To tag photos you must be a member of Flickr (don’t worry, the basic service is free).

    Choose photos taken by yourself or from The Commons. You may need special privileges to tag photos if they are not your own. If the photo wasn’t taken by you and it is not from The Commons, please ask permission to the author or check that the license authorizes this use.

  3. Once your photo is shown, you can add it to this page:

Even though Badosa.com does not display the identity of the person who added a photo, this action is not anonymous (tags are linked to the user who added them at Flickr). Badosa.com reserves the right to remove inappropriate photos. If you find a photo that does not really illustrate the work or whose license does not allow its use, let us know.

If you added a photo (for example, testing this service) that is not really related with this work, you can remove it deleting the machine tag at Flickr (step 1). Verify that the removal is already public (step 2) and then press the button at step 3 to update this page.
