i would have you

Member since 2002 · Posted 11 May 2002 · 6 comments

i would have you in the heavy felt of an overcoat the wet heat has you in thin blue with bare arms and bare legs languishing on the sofa while i hang limply across an armchair we speak slowly, comfortably about people and events under your words through your shirt i recall you bathed standing in thick steam, modest whisps dispersing how does an image drown the sound of your voice?

I like this--think it might be stronger with the last lines as a statement instead of a question.

This is beautiful...intimate and subtly sexy.
