Mon Petite Shumai

Mon Petite Shumai

Of the meals we've had,
those with Shumai and your in-
evitable smile 

Make me smile and feel
warm through the deep of my soul.
tasty shrimp dumplings

Memories strung to-
gether and dripping with sweet
spicy mustard cut 

To the heart of how
I know us, somehow early
still in our meal and wetted 

for more. A fourteen
Year appetizer and al-
ways hungry for more

Valentines Day 2012

I dream to tease and tug on the
Oiled skin of your feet and
Slowly move up your calves
And behind your knee and

Then to the rolling of your 
Thigh and higher on both
Legs past your ass and onto
The small and then middle back

And then shoulders and arms
And fingers and hands and finally
Your neck and head with
Tension in me building and

In you receding far enough
To allow a different and better
Tension to come and warm
you and from there a short 

twist of your torso and we
are face-to-face, me staring
down at you wondering at the
mystery of you and where 

and how I can find you and 
bring you out so that the 
two of us can meet with our
souls fully entwined and 

exposed to the comfort and
need of the other. It is 
the act of drawing the you
out of you that obsesses

me, that keeps me awake 
at night dreaming of your
nakedness and imagining 
the what might-bes
