Paragon

My love is that third shot of tequila
teeth numb when you lean in to kiss me
Eyes glistening, glazed over
Voice husky, part of my mystique

Are you with me?

Pay attention to even my smallest movements
I didn’t choose this, your amusement,
Hands mounted on my curves.
Just say the word
and I’ll oblige.

You wanna see my other side?

You’ll know when she arrives.
Better late than never
Always behind my mind, my tether
she won’t let you forget her

Remember the first time you met her?

Pretty timid, but no limits
and in her eyes you saw her power
Like treading water for hours —
never tired, never sour
Yours to devour
such salacious encounters…

Let’s fast forward to the part where you’re mine. I lie waiting, open only to you, wanton, supine. The woman of your dreams and nightmares — wife and concubine, all combined, intertwined, until the end of time. Rings encircle forever, and eternity’s my price. If you jump in my wayward waters, prepare to drown in me for life.

Do you know the torture of tasting your name inside my cheek? With your mouth so far away, leaves me unable to speak. I need you, my safe space, my combination — yours to keep. Lock me down; open me up. I have the treasures that you seek. X marks the spot, and all my spots, you’ve reached. Up to the highest peaks, I climb your mountain and I can’t breathe. Exhale life back into me, and I’ll breed the heirs of kings.

When you hear my siren song, play along, won’t steer you wrong. I’ll drive you crazy, but it won’t be too long before we’re among the stars. Like constellations — sky’s the limit. Celestial, perpetually tempting. Relationship, built like religion, the foundation is assenting. And I consent to you, like your sun rises to my moon. I’ll always choose you, if you just vow to see me through.
