may i feel said he…

by e.e. cummings

may i feel said he
(i’ll squeal said she
just once said he)
it’s fun said she

(may i touch said he
how much said she
a lot said he)
why not said she

(let’s go said he
not too far said she
what’s too far said he
where you are said she)

may i stay said he
(which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she

may i move said he
is it love said she)
if you’re willing said he
(but you’re killing said she

but it’s life said he
but your wife said she
now said he)
ow said she

(tiptop said he
don’t stop said she
oh no said he)
go slow said she

(cccome?said he
ummm said she)
you’re divine!said he
(you are Mine said she)

revelations

-i-
your mouth reveals me
piquant flavour
nestled in the folds
of my bloom
sweet nectar
slips on your chin
glistens on your cheek
hot dewy dawning
of my hunger
shapes the hour

i asked for a kiss

I asked for a kiss you gave me six.
Whose pupil were you to become such a master?
Full of kindness, generosity…
You are not of this world.

– Rumi –
