I wrote you once
When we were new
While my body still trembled
From the first feel of you
Your essence 
And mine
Still creeping
Down my inner thigh
A short letter 
Of words meant to explain
What I could not
The weaknesses you created
Immortalized
By the stain of blue ink on white paper
I wrote it in my most decorative script
Scented with the pheromones 
Of my sex

Sprinkled with whatever magic 
Or undeserved kindness
Brought you to me
I kissed it
Held it up to the sky
With a prayer

I wanted you to feel me
To need me as much as I needed you
To have the idea of love
Gently knock at your door
To have you open your heart
To the warmth of what I offer
Lay your head upon my bosom 
Wrap your arms around this body
Breath
Be soothed by me
Take from me what you need
Mark me where you must
Claim what you want 
Need no other

This is the little letter 
I wrote to you
Words of my surrender
A great thing

You slipped it into my palm
Still sealed
Unopened 
Stealing my breath
Weakening my will
Witnessing the me
On the brink
Shedding tears
At just the feel of it 
On my skin
Unwanted

You then
Pressed me naked
Bare
Against the strong lines of your body
Skin to skin
Raw
Your heat
Weakening all systems of sense
Spreading through me
In small electric shocks
Loosening my inhibitions
Dampening me with hope
As my need grew firm
And pleaded
Let me touch 
More

You whispered:
(As you slipped inside of me)
I am a man 
If there is something 
You think I should know
Then speak it 
(You pushed at the door
Of my womb)
Let me see the words
As they fall from your lips
(And you slid home)
Show me 
Your body's desires 
What your soul craves
(You opened me wide
Kneaded me loose)
Pour what you are into me
Let my tongue 
Scorch the last drop
(You...needed...)
I will absorb
All that is you
(Me)
Your satisfaction will be mine
(As you...)
And mine will be yours
(Heard me...)
No words
No writing
No letters
(Scream your name)
Not even the air
Shall come between us

I once wrote you a letter
Which you returned 
Unread
When we were new
When I was a girl confused
Blue ink on white paper 
Now 
I am a woman 
In need of no letters
Knowing the words
A woman's heart sings
Knowing the love 
Of a real man
I wear it on my body
In need of nothing 
Less
