I WOULD IF I COULD

I would if I could...

disrobe you, gently, with my eyes.
warm my feet in the heat rising in your cheeks.
engaol the blood-beads erupting on your ravished lip, the shivering lip that you admonished ever-so violently lest it may betray your discomfiture.

I would if I could...

stalk the muddy imprints of your wandering feet, test their depth by shackling my foot to the end of the plumb line and plunging headlong, land on my bottom,curl up in your ribbed bowel, foetal-like.
then,conjure up a gigantic veil to shroud us, hide us away- just you and I.

I would if I could...

stifle your cries, breathe away the tears till two arid river banks cut through your skin mouthing angry narratives of the sudden silencing of their melodramatic gags.

Yes,I would if I could...

I would
I would
I would

....could I, please ?
