I think this is what's going to end up as the March Poetic Voices entry.... I just dunno if it's done yet. Feels done.

Milk and Honey
-by N

i never dreamt my fingers could slide across your skin
i never dreamt they would be worthy
unnoticed..... i've watched for a lifetime
waiting, hoping, dreaming and praying to one day taste

smooth as milk the curve of your lips against mine
lush, moist, quenching the thirst that's burned for years
breath stilling in my chest to see the desire in your eyes
that shimmered as brightly as what's been in mine

have you ever felt this way before?
have you ever thought of me as i have of you?
aching to taste the honeyed scent that clings to your skin
wondering if this will be the only chance i ever have

or if somehow, someday, for some reason you come to me again
let me clear the confusion from your eyes
let me make you forget the absence of light

close your eyes...
let me guide you through this darkness
i will take care of you

all else forgotten except this one ambrosious moment
all other meaning cast aside, negated but for your touch
my body begging to join with yours, just this once
my soul feasting on the banquet wrapped around you

milk and honey....
