Floating above myself,
I watch you love me:
Languid and slow,
Savoring each stroke
Like an artist with his brush,
Painting the canvas of my body
With layer upon layer of pleasure,
Until nothing exists
But brilliant color,
And the exhilaration
Of becoming lost with you
In the art of our making.
Brienne Katherine Adams' poetry has appeared, or will soon appear, in Westward Quarterly, The Storyteller, Beyond Centauri, Love's Chance Magazine, Rocky Mountain Rider, and The Shepherd Magazine.
