My Valentine 

(Somewhere Beneath Your Hair) 

by Tuese Ahkiong

My Valentine,

My Precious Valentine,

I think of you all the time.

I remember those sweet moments 

beneath your hair

As I would stare

into your eyes’ skies.

Underneath the cover

of your skin,

I am blanketed in you.  

Snuggled in your love,

I gaze above

At ruby ripe cherries,

ready to fall…                        

…in love,

in my mouth

…like the rain,

that softly begins

in a misty touch,

nice and slow,

gentle flow. 

But before you would collapse 

the distance

between our breaths,

And press glee

upon me,

You would smile

For a while,

Knowing that this boy

Is about to experience

some serious joy!

And then it happens!

Heaven falls 

upon this man,

As the sweetest kiss

Touches down

And lands. 

Your mouth on mine is bliss

Tasting your lips is candyland 

As I go sliding around

Your tutti fruiti flavored gloss;

Slipping and sliding

up and down

the curve of your lips.

Tracing the outline of your smile

Your lips-stick to mine

And it’s my heart you find,

My Valentine.
