Creamed baritone
calls me from edges of slumber
and waits…
is insistent…
has already made plans
all of them suave and melodious
that may
or may not
breach a non-disclosure clause
for drycleaning bills probable
usage of ivory satins
and iridescent silks
that wrap in reams
encircle and intertwine throughout my dreams
in total disregard
of manufacturer guidelines
choosing instead tender seclusion
to explore the smoothest parts of us
in side-by-side comparison
Only in sleep
can fears be submerged this deep
Exposure
the soft shy cover of velvet silence
that secured its mark
and wouldn’t let go
Connections
effortless now that easy is everywhere
In sumptuous strategy
union is sealed then celebrated
We slide secrets over soul
prepared potions
to stay mind-wanderlust
as aphrodisiacs mend us whole
Reverberate the message
inner being urgent plea
on silken rests beneath the staff
a song of
Please
oh please
wake up to me
