To Touch a Goddess

by William-Adolphe Bouguereau PD-1923

My hand on you
like skin on velvet
whether the tip of your nose with my lips
or my mouth on your hips
I will show you a touch
you won’t find anywhere else;
in the care of my caress,
I promise
you are more desirable than any other.

Look in my eyes and see
there is nothing more beautiful than you
on earth, in heaven,
and you deserve to be kissed
from your head to your feet,
every lovely inch of you.

I am yours to command
but I promise you
surrender is sweet.

The line of your arms,
the curve of your hip,
the bend of your fingers,
the grace of your neck,
this is the art that leaves me speechless,
and I will touch you,
kiss you,
in a way no other woman ever will be;
these intimate ministries are yours alone
never to be repeated on another.

This is how to touch a goddess.
