Poems
by Sergio A. Ortiz
(08/12/09)
Gazing at you from a distance
I caught you staring at me
from the tip of a horsehair
so I floated softly
to your fingers.
Your naked male perfection
hardened my scented breasts.
I placed them on your lips,
watched your virility despair
like a jaguar
ready for the kill,
a ritual born
out of molten flames.
My angel wings rested edgy
between your open legs.
Touch Me
draw me how I was
in spring
sable brush
roundness
of a field
don't look away
gather flowers
where horizons disappear
slide down my shoulder
like a thin strap
press and softly churn
my crevices
touch me
