Why You Complicate

I wonder…I dream…
The refreshing taste of you
Uncontrolled wondering how your skin
Tastes how you smell in the morning
How your hair curls how your
Smile forms furrows how your tongue feels
How you kiss how you sweat
How you yell how you tease
How your eyes see and do they see how
You’ve occupied me how even as you are
Speaking I try not to notice your hands
Or your arms or your tan skin
Or the little long blonde hairs there
Or the black patch that rises sharply
From tan bareness just below your neck
On your chest or the way you mumble or
Stare when you speak or how your legs
Are muscled but not heavily or
How you wear your shirts your pants your shoes
And how my hands would feel
Unbuttoning undressing exploring
What I can’t see what I imagine often
And how perhaps rough you would be
How brutish hungry raw
How you would eat every part of me
Like a peach tearing into me
How you would corner me or convince me
How you would be relentless
Restless eager ever-ready
You would fill me sate me savor me
How your arrogance aggressiveness
Attracts me and instead I tease you back
Hoping this is hidden
And though I will soon be alone
I don’t want to know or investigate you further
Except to burn out this fascination
By playing every possible scene
In my head until you can easily
Be forgotten in that way and never know
How you complicated things for me.
