My Columbian Goddess
 

You are the first thing that I reach for
 

each morning when I wake.
 

My heart races
 

I’m trembling—trembling.
 

Greedily I inhale you
 

as though I would die
 

without a wisp of your scent
 

on my each and every breath.
 

I can tell you are ready.
 

I just hope there is time.
 

because I need you twice.
 

Once will never do.
 

Some would say I’m addicted.
 

I’d gladly be your slave.
 

Chestnut brown full bodied.
 

You are beautiful.
 

It’s noon when I see you
 

and I know I must surrender.
 

I’m too eager, in a hurry.
 

I’m burning—burning.
 

At home that evening
 

You are waiting—tempting me.
 

But I know that if I take you
 

You will keep me up all night.
 

I love you when you’re warm
 

Need you when you’re hot.
 

And yet I must confess
 

I’d settle for you cold.
 

My Columbian Goddess.
