Loving Four Janet Kuypers 01/18/10 1 you called to me so I followed found a place for us where you could walk over and just    collapse                  right next to me as I ran my fingers up and down your body you feel like cashmere and as you look up at me all I see are your big blue storytelling eyes I touch you until you are suddenly scared and have to walk away 2 only when I stop for lunch do you come to me bold, tempestuous my self-actualized love you just walk right up to me collapse on me like you expect me to serve you so I grab you by the neck pull your head back I see your eyes start to close it’s like you’ve trained me well I pull you closer to me until our eyes are inches apart and I kiss your head 3 you want me only when I have something to offer and when I’ve got the goods your lithe body almost squeals with delight and you know, it is only at these moments when I can touch you feel your softness for myself this is what I cherish 4 so at nights that’s when we’ve got our chance you usually want to test me but at night, that’s when you come to me curl up against my body let me envelope you with my arm that’s when I’m able to sleep Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
