Sprawled out on the couch,
you closed your eyes for a nap,
having unbuttoned your shirt, and
pulled the panels apart to afford
me a view of that pectoral beauty---
at last uninhibited. Surrounded by the
tattered cuffs of your bell-bottom jeans,
your feet---sheathed the dark blue
softness of your socks---rested in my
lap. The fragrance and flavor of those
socks combined to loosen my last
lingering hesitation: so that I was
finally able to offer my ardent kisses
all over that warm fabric: that I had
so long desired, and about which I had
so long fantasized . . . .
