Ready for you

by Andre Ramseur

Ready for you?
Am I ready for you?
Inescapable thoughts of warm feelings

shy thoughts,
a thirst,
a need

make me like the bears that
hibernate during the cold
and
squirrels that gather their nuts
for winter

as
I

gather warm thoughts of you
for my winter nights
and my lustful summer evenings,

and as

the sunshine and cool breeze of
a summer's night bathes my desires of you,
showering love scenes fall on my imagination

one
after
the other.

And you ask if I am ready for you?

My eyes
are ready to see you as much as I can
and as much as you dare.

My lips
are ready to massage yours,
so gently, so warmly, so softly, so many times.

My tongue
is ready to travel your entire body as the lustful fragrance of your
framework sinks into my palate.

My arms
are ready to hold you
for as long as we both see fit
and as long as God allows.

My body
is ready to love with yours
with all the strength, energy, and
versatility I need.

And you ask if I am ready for you?
