Untitled

Fingertips brush
gently at first
a wave that rises
down to the palm
rolling softly back
stopping to circle
the center of that soft round
rising to meet its touch
before the palm slides down
and lifts gently
for the warm wet kisses
of a hungry mouth
licking and playing
nibbling and biting
sending its code
swimming heat
diving deeper.
