The tropical night embraces
Sticky sweet and lingering
Native insects circle swirling
Whirring in the breeze
Leaning on the rail
His scent weighs heavy
Rising from his shoulders
Natural and so male
His naked chest rises
Heaving with each breath
Pierced protruding nipples glint
Winking with the moonlight
His eyes squint serious
Peering toward the distance
Change is in the air
Seeping from the seams
In silence our connection deepens
Guarding against the world
We two standing together
This moment must be the test
He turns to me
My bare feet planted firm
He takes my waist
And my arm
Something’s happening
I feel it too
It lies behind his eyes
Travels to his tongue
He crouches to one knee
Right there before me
My mind’s puzzled
The obvious it denies
My own breath is stifled
I feel a tear in my eye
He fingers my skirt
Playing with the hem
A devious smile flashes
And then he digs in
His tongue explores
Where my panties aren’t worn
I can’t move; I’m frozen
He dives in for more
Lifting his head, he grins again
Lips shining with my taste
His eyes are liquid pools
Deep blue and still
“Baby?” he offers
I’m frightened now
His face hints at mischief
Wicked intent filled with plot
His tongue runs my crease
Filling the warm divide
“Will…” he licks
“You…” he licks again
“Marry” he prods
“Me?” he penetrates
I cradle his face in my hands
Lift his eyes to see
This is my lover, my life, my wonder
And he wants only me
My lips manage a consenting smile
I secede my loss
Can’t fight anymore
I have to leap in order to fall
