An intense sensuous and erotic love poem, by Meenakshi, for Different Truths.

Your eyes, which open you to me
The mirror of your soul that tells me when you have mischief on your mind
And the deepest sorrows too
Your eyes which see deep into my soul and when they lock into mine, I’m yours
Or those lips on which the mischievous smile flirts in and out?
When they part to whisper to me, I know they have touched my deepest recesses
The deep voice that drips heavy with honey
And can melt my soul and yet churns my insides?
I love those long arms that encircle me and hold me close
Your fingers curling around mine
As they flirt and tease and pull me close
These arms which clench into large sledgehammers
And yet are gentle when you place them over my shoulder
Or maybe the deep chest which blankets me and comforts me on cold nights
Listening to the sound of your steady breathing knowing that you are at peace and everything is okay
Or maybe I love the sharp breaths that you draw when you are turned on
With each quickening breath and pause, I'm turned on as well
I think I love your ticklish parts, your sides and your toes
They bring the child in you and you roar with laughter
I love playing with your feet, massaging them and teasing you
Those large feet, strong and balanced
And yet so delicate and sensitive
I think now I know why I love you so
You are hard on the outside and mushy on the inside
And I love the strength and the vulnerability equally
That’s what makes you human
And that's what makes me love you more!
