Para ti mi amor
I think of you,
stolen from my grasp less than a year ago,
as my hand meticulously paints my body,
pretending the brush is your fingertip.
I like to think your Spirit guides my painting,
starting at my collarbone,
lowering, swirling blackness over my right breast,
before reaching its final destination between my thighs.
Red sequins are applied,
surrounding my right nipple.
Oh, how it hardens,
with thoughts of your tongue.
Adorning my mound,
slightly to the left,
a rose is created,
marking where you liked to kiss and nip.
The finishing touch –
a scented flower tucked behind my ear.
I can almost feel your sweet breath.
I pause at Cemetery No. 1,
paying tribute to Marie Laveau,
summoning a little voodoo for good measure.
A scribble grants a wish, I am told.
I continue,
navigating the dead to find you,
noticing the lightning storm in the distance,
providing the perfect accompaniment
to the sexual energy coursing through my veins.
Both lips quiver,
upon reaching your grave.
Today, I will not wet the ground with tears,
but celebrate you, my love.
Smiling, I decorate the dirt with red roses,
surrounding your bones with flickering candles,
scattering sugar skulls,
coloring your grey tombstone with photographs of our love.
I witness the sun’s last ray falls below the horizon,
ushering in the darkness,
lighting the way for the dead.
It is time.
Estoy aquí mi amor
Removing my overcoat,
I lay my body and soul upon your altar,
praying until your lips traverse the ink.
Drinking,
your tongue stripping me bare.
My cold empty heart needs your magic.
My sheath craves your ministrations,
which brings me life.
Feel my need, my love.
See me!
My prayer for rapturous plunder is answered,
as my lips are first separated.
I’m speared deep,
in the magical way your tongue works.
Fingers delve,
casting their spell,
reclaiming me,
with that beast that satisfies.
My cries of lust and want and need
lift on the silent air,
carrying with the wind.
My heart and body find peace,
Wrapped in the eternity of your love.
Hasta el año que viene mi amor
