Ready to Play

Welcome spring,

I am giddy for the refresh.

Darkness is maddening but you keep me

from derangement.

We have weathered the winter,

per due course,

now is time for lighter vibrations;

buzzing starts and shedding old.

☀️

The charcoals and darks give way

to sunbeams and blue skies,

still too far to touch,

but I can see them.

☀️

Welcome rain,

trickling down nose, mouth, throat.

I am enthralled as you soak me,

light passing through to shine in full spectrum of color.

Dripping vim.

I indulge in the pleasure

of wet embrace.

☀️

Fingers slip, chasing drops across curves,

between grooves,

To catch and lick from tips.

☀️

Welcome sun,

how I blush at your touch, Sir.

Soft under-skin exposed finally,

stripped of layers once needed

to shield the harsh.

Bare and open to you,

warming me inside-out

and I can’t get enough.

☀️

Wildly, your shafts explode

through shadows

Calling me out to play.

☀️

Twirly giggles sift through leaves

with first light as you chase

and I tease in dance

of lust.

Motivation defeats fear.

I am not new, no,

but expertised and ravenous.

Zealous in the pursuit of you, Sir.

☀️

Huntress of light:

Creeping through shadows,

Shrieking extended-clawed attack,

pouncing at illuminated particles

I can see but harm nonetheless,

as I slice without reservation

to tumble in glee

always back to my feet.

☀️

Trickery you employ,

Hiding away each night,

But I am trickier still and I see your stay,

exposed by mirrored sky

(as the moon and I are friends),

and so I plot my next advances

whilst awaiting to play

and welcome you again.
