undress me

Undress me
you know how
you’ve done it with your eyes
now
do it with your hands.

Let me feel
your fingers move
from one zip, button, hook,
each
my fragile coverings.

Untame me
take the lead
take me where you need
where
you know I should be.

Watch me blush
take your time
make me wait and hesitate
fall
you can make me fall

forever
forever
no return
letting moments burn to ashes
letting minutes stretch to lasting

Strip away all pretence
excavate the primal
let the stream become a flood
let me be impure, undone

Commit me
to the end
and let the end take it’s time
to come
to come
to come
to come
but not
too
soon.
