Pale brown face rests among slender hands,
Dark chocolate eyes hidden under soft curls,
Curls matted like twigs and leaves in a bird’s nest,
And soft long eyelashes erupting from eyelids.
Lean – sea salty – neck stands tall from shoulders up,
Narrow shoulders break out like tree’s branches,
Small chest barely coming to the age of manhood,
Heaves and intakes rapid breaths of anxiety.
Lungs breathe in and out as the heart pumps blood
To his spider web veins – that entangle – themselves,
In the interior of the solid brown trunk, stretching
Abundantly, all over his ample boyhood body
From the protective ribcage of many bones, that cradles
The vital instrument of life, to the delicate Adam’s apple
Vibrating quietly to the beat of the rhythmic pulse,
And finally, reaching the soft thin lips parted half way
Such thin lips that let out puffs of carbon dioxide; and
Pecks to the neighboring skin of tentative timid kisses
And then his mouth slowly spells out, in a slow silhouette
His lover’s name, the sound almost magical in her ear
