A poem a day for 2013 - day 183 - Say my name

Wrap a whisper for me

One of your whispers

Soft and bold as lily

Bow and ribbon as birthday

Gift me your breath on my neck

Thick lipped and forgiving

Your eyelashes flutter my chin

Save my life again

My ear on your chest

Tongue taste your skin

Warm my fingers with your thighs

I mouth you my reasons

We can sit here

And never speak

Just think me your love

I have forgotten love

Connected nipples

And night laughter about the nothing

What it is like to hand hold

And bite

And wrestle for cover 

In the middle of the morning

Speak softly to me

Remind me the ways

You say my name

Backwards and forth

Remember my knees

Way we sat in the dirt and the imprint of rocks on my legs

Like your fingers 

Pulled grass and picked petals

Kiss me again

Way you did before 

Except different this time

Suck lies from my teeth

Hold me until you feel like letting go

I will be here

Wading the wave of your timber

Falling for me
