Author’s note: This is one of my favorite poems that I consider erotic. It was a piece I posted in a poetry group when Yahoo Groups was a thing in 2000. There was another poet on that group that I started exchanging poems with. I would post and he’d post a response. I remember it fondly. Let me know what you think.

you feel deep within me
a change unknown
the arousal of my senses
the wakening of my lust
you take my innocence
and make it more pure
I ride your power
like a hunter on its horse
taking you deep within my mortal soul
leaving a signature of your essence
haunting me forever
by the memory of your presence
of skin so hot
of bodies fitted
like pieces of a puzzle
of flesh melted into one
