"pepper and cream"

c. 2002, Miriam M. Wynn

 


you smell of pepper and cream,

spice, mixed with a rich, sweet dream;

your skin, a marvel, of smooth and firm,

your eyes, a cruel, sweet dream of hazel burn;

 


your hunger makes me whimper and forget myself;

yours is a growl that echoes inside all my walls,

your breath, sweet like spring breezes and soft sweat;

 


your touch alone incites the fires of brimstone;

your smile a hedonistic harem of silk and moans;

your flesh the incenses of india, gold, brown, blood red,

the velvet heat in your eyes the pull of birth and death;

 


when you touch me, i mellow with a flicker,

the world stops, and my heart stops beating to listen;

your arms, your gaze, you -

beckon all the things i long to do;

 


you overwhelm me; tall, noble, lean,

my teeth ache to bite along your lines and planes,

finding crevices, corners, nooks, crannies;

my tongue and lips throb, seeking warm mouthful after mouthful

eager to choke myself on flesh, and you;

 


i lick the tiny spot behind your ear and listen to you murmur,

i sniff the small of your back and lick you there;

i watch you arch and stretch and rumble,

and trail my fingernails first lightly, then sharply, across you;

 


you take me by the hands and pin me down,

i tremble, trapped along the sheets with you behind me,

climbing me like the landscape you plan to conquer;

 

your lightly stubbled jaw scrapes my shoulder, the side of my neck;

i scream, short, and your fingers clench harder;

i feel your breath slide up the nape of my neck,

your soft lips nuzzling there, trailing back and forth again;

 


i listen to you breathe, insistent,

i whimper, knowing danger is blissfully near;

and then your lips and tongue and teeth against and within my ear,

and i’m gone, lost, frantic, like a caught skittish deer;

but you hold me, fierce, firm, determined;

 


you suck upon my gasps, grab me with your lips, your teeth,

and i shudder, while my struggles excite us both;

you spread, large like a mountain,

over me, around me, and impale me with your flesh,

your tongue, your sex, your sweat, your lust;

fill me like rivers and drowned valleys and an eager cup;

 


and i fill, and i fill, and you never stop

feeding me your musky smell, your taste, your clutch, your fuck;

and in this moment, plumbed beneath you,

i am happy to be drowned in pepper, cream,

your fire, your spice, my lust, our dreams:

for i am yours to do with as you please.
