22 Hours In Paradise
Prologue:
What came over me?
We were sitting together in my room
On my bed (for God's sake)
Drinking Sangria over ice (your gift)
Jamming to Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" (your album)
On our way to becoming friends
And I had to ask you for a kiss
What came over me?
Maybe it was your cute little hairstyle
Short and boyish
But not detracting from your femininity
No, babe - you are too fine
Maybe it was your eyes
Brown and lovely
Every time I gaze into them
I forget how to think
But I think it was your lips
So beautiful
So perfect
Begging for a kiss
You were talking about that song
Saying something
While I heard nothing
Your lips were all I saw, all I heard and all I knew
So at the risk of ruining a new friendship
I had to ask
You weren't supposed to say 'yes'
Well, actually you didn't
You looked at me and smiled
And melted into my arms
----------
What came over me?
Black men don't do this
Don't go downtown
Don't eat at The "Y"
Don't yodel in the canyon
Maybe it was because you looked so good
Laying naked on my bed
All smooth and honey brown
A goddess fallen to earth
Maybe it was too much Sangria
Or Acapulco Gold
Or maybe I was drunk with desire for you
Intoxicated by your kisses
But I think it was your lips
So beautiful
So perfect
Between your legs
Begging for a kiss
This time I forgot to ask
But you didn't seem to mind
----------
The Experience:
Noon
You're at my door
A girl I met just days ago
Looking all cute in denim shorts
And a tee shirt with Mighty Mouse on the front
My man Mighty Mouse
A bottle of Sangria in one hand
And that new Mtume album (the one we talked about) under your arm
I try to look nonchalant
But your legs are long and smooth and honey brown
And your smile makes my heart ache
Damn….
"Where's your roommate?" you ask
I tell you he's gone for the weekend
And your smile changes
A subtle change, but I notice
I just don't know what it means
Sitting on my bed, listening to the music
Sipping Sangria over ice
Talking without looking at each other
Because when we look at each other
We get lost in smiles
Your lips are so beautiful…
The album finishes
I play it again, desperately
I don't want you to leave
Can't stand for you to go yet
Can't bear to be without your smile
1:00 PM
From your pocket, another gift
"Is this okay?" you ask
It is, of course
I light the incense
And wonder what your lips would feel like
What they would taste like
The aroma of jasmine fills the air
You motion me closer on the bed
My heart races as we draw near, closer than ever before
You blow pungent smoke into my mouth, filling me with your breath
Our lips are so close, just a whisper apart
God…
2:00 PM
Sitting quietly
Listening to Denise Williams now
Feeling mellow as we wait for the next thing to happen
Then you lean back, crossing those lovely legs
I can't stand it anymore
I ask you for a kiss
You look at me and smile
And then you're in my arms
Your warm body crushed against mine
Your lips so soft; your tongue electric
I get a new kind of rush
Clothing melts away…
I marvel at how you shiver
At the way you moan from my slightest touch
I can't touch you enough
Can't kiss you enough
My need for you is raging
My lips on your lips
On your face, your neck
And back up to your lips (God, I love your lips)
You sigh as I kiss your breasts
And whimper as your nipples swell in my mouth
Lower…
I can't get enough of you…
Planting gentle kisses your stomach
My tongue probes your belly button
My fingers find your warm, wet center
You shiver deliciously
I want to devour you…
Lower…
A wisp of soft brown curls
Tickling my face
The aroma of femininity assailing my senses
You need something
I want…something…
Lower…
I kiss your inner thigh, and linger there
Your legs part slightly
I look, considering…
You're swollen, ripe, moist…ready
You whisper my name
I look again, transfixed
Thinking of ripe, sweet fruit
A peach, perhaps
I know what you want
What you need
But can I?
Kissing my way down as I contemplate
Tasting the tender flesh at the back of your knee
Stealing a glace back up at your treasure
Thinking suddenly that it actually looks pretty
Feeling a new kind of hunger
What's come over me?
I can't get enough of you
The feel of you, the taste of you
I kiss the gentle swell of your calf, your ankle
Even your feet, your toes
Loving it, loving you
What's come over me?
I can't believe I'm doing this
But I can't stop
I'm lost in you
I need to know every part of you
Every part…
Kissing my way back up
You're quivering…waiting…needing
I pause there, at the entry to paradise
Plump, swollen lips
So beautiful…
A tentative kiss
Just a fleeting contact
You groan…
…Or was that me?
----------
3:00 PM
Just one kiss, one taste
And I'm hooked
A junkie for you
For the sweet fruit of paradise
For your cries of ecstasy
As you cum…
I explore
Sampling one plump slice, then the other
Kissing, licking, tasting…
And now enclosing all of you
Such delicious fruit
And you cum again…
I love the way you do that
The way you cry out
The way you shiver
Lost in your own body
I'm lost in you, too
What's come over me?
You've come over me
Peeling you open gently
Revealing the center of you
Soft, warm, wet…
You place my pillow over your face
Getting ready
I feel your body quaking
Anticipating…
My tongue tickles that tender protrusion - that sensitive nub
You scream into the pillow
And explode…
God…
4:00 PM
You pull me up
Your mouth seeks mine
Hungrily, our lips crush together
Your tongue is wild
As you taste you on me
You feel so good…
Diamond, granite, steel
I'm ready for you now
Ready to enter paradise
Your hand reaches down; finds me
Guides me to you
Long honey brown legs rising
Wrapping around me
So soft, so smooth against my skin
You whisper in my ear
"I want it…now…"
I…am…so…ready…for…you…
Sliding against you
Parting your sweet cleft
There it is - that soft, warm, wet place
The entry to paradise
You moan into my mouth
As I push…
You're so hot, so wet
So tight…
Push…
I feel you open
Hear you gasp as your fruit yields
As I go deeper - an inch, two inches
You gasp and groan and clutch my shoulders
Your breath is a flame in my ear
Deeper…
So tight…
Your body shifts; your legs lift higher
Your hands at the backs of your knees
Opening wider for me
Granting me access to your precious gift
Deeper…
Five inches, six…
So hot, so wet, so tight
I bury my face in the pillow
Lost in the sensations of you
Sweet ecstasy
Deeper…
Seven inches, eight…
I feel you shudder and pulsate around me
My God Babe
Do you have any idea?
Do you know how sweet your pussy is?
I grip your bottom
Pull you to me
Closer
Burying myself in your sweet depths
Lost in the sensations of you
So deep…
Your lips against my cheek
Your body crushed against me
Your delicate hands caressing my back
Your legs locked around my waist
Your sweet, sweet sex…
So deep…
We lie still as the world fades away
There is no music, no sound
No aroma of jasmine
No bed beneath us
There is only you
I have only one sense
And it is filled with you
My world, my universe is you
We start to move
Our bodies seeking and finding rhythm
Time ceases to exist…
----------
5:00 PM
Heat
Sweat
Tears
Flesh
You…
The world swims in and out of focus
There is bliss
And there is you
Or are they one and the same?
I don't know…I can't think
7:00 PM
Heat
The room is a furnace
Blazing hot
Sweat
Our bodies wet
Slick with it
Sliding against each other
Tears
Kissing them from your face
Wanting to lose none of you
Wanting to know you totally
To possess you completely
Flesh
Your body…
God, your body
So warm, so smooth
So soft, so wet
So deep
And so, so sweet….
You
Looking into your eyes
Lost in your eyes
Your lips parted
Panting
I need your lips
I cannot get enough
What's come over me?
8:00 PM
We breathe life into each other
We breathe love into each other
As my need for you escalates
I can't get enough of you
I know I'm lost
Buried in your sweetness
Your body crushed against me
Wrapped around me
Our lips in an endless kiss
And I still can't get close enough to you
What have you done to me?
You whisper against my ear
Ready now - urging me now
To come to you
To come for you
To come in you
God…
Your words push me to the brink
But I know you now
I know your body, your vibrations
I feel your ecstasy coming again
So I wait for you
You gasp and shudder beneath me
And your vibrations set me off…
Ah, God…
We vibrate together
Reach bliss together
Explode together
Ride the waves of ecstasy together
Sweet synchronicity
3:00 AM
I awake
In my room
In the dark
In your mouth
Or was that a sweet, sweet dream?
6:00 AM
I awake to find you standing at the window
Framed in sunlight
Naked and beautiful
A golden goddess
My goddess
My heart
I wonder what you're thinking
If you're thinking about situations
And circumstances
I make a wish
And you come back to bed
10:00 AM
Kisses goodbye at my door
Kisses we can't stop
I look into your eyes
And see the question, the need
But I can't ask you to be cruel
In spite of circumstances
----------
Epilogue:
10:30 AM
Sitting in my room
Alone
Thinking about you
Thinking about 22 hours of paradise
Thinking about circumstances
Circumstances
Like your fiancé
And my girlfriend
Circumstances…
