luscious
flipping through
mouth waters

the smell

of must

and mist

and lust

and experience

of shame and

daring

dying, lying cheating

I sink in

in deeply

I close my eyes

fingering the depths

allowing the tips of my fingers to w  a  s  t  e

in the softness of it all

I dream 

of just another day 

   when I expose myself

expose my heart

to the aspirations and adorations 

that exist here
