It was true I had to say
I liked you better naked.
Your clothes on the floor
Where they should always be.
It wasn’t always that way
At first you did as all others had done
Run from the very sight of me.
No amount of cajoling worked on you
I was repulsive, vile and unattractive.
But it wasn’t about our physical form
It was the meeting of our minds
The coming together of two intellects
That gelled as never before.
Your desire to be a poet
My desire to be your lover
We met somewhere in the middle
Hawaii as I recall,
Where clothes became optional
I didn’t, you didn’t, we didn’t.
It was on and we rejoiced
As metaphors lusted
And lust metaphored
Verses became stanzas
The stories of our life
Unencumbered by clothing
We made poetic magic
And the magic poetic.
We liked each other naked,
We explored the haiku,
Played with our octrains
Iambic pentametered in the dawn light
Our bits wrote upon each other’s odes
But our full stops, sated our rhythms.

Thank you Kim, I did have a good time.
Nice to know such things can happen: “But it wasn’t about our physical form/It was the meeting of our minds/ The coming together of two intellects/That gelled as never before. (Oh, and bits part too, 😉 )
