I was tasked with writing about love, those electric feelings that spark when you see that special someone. “Make it sexy,” they said. “It should get readers’ dopamine running out of control,” they said. The moment I heard that, I knew I was in deep trouble. I have no idea what gets dopamine running.

For two long weeks, I’ve been trying to write something sexy, and guess what? Nada. Zip. Zero. My brain was as dry as a desert. So, I thought to myself, “Hey, let’s write what we know. It might not be good enough to ignite dopamine and send anyone to a frenzy, but it’s our truth.” And after countless failed attempts, this is what I came up with… tell me what you think, even if your dopamine got dry while reading it, tell me regardless.

I want to know you

Every morning, there you are,

A vision across the street, at the café, with your coffee.

Newspaper in your hand, in this digital age, are you

An old soul, a thinker, or just a sage?

I’m not one for caffeine, or the world’s news,

But I’m drawn to you, in ways I can’t refuse.

I watch you, every day, from my side,

Imagining the thoughts, that wander wide.

I want to know you.

Your fingers tap, in silent rhythm as you read through a book,

Your smile, a hidden gem, in your firm grip, I wonder where you’ve been?

What lies beneath the surface of your strength, so deep?.

Do you panic when life goes steep? Do you keep calm?

I want to know you.

When you flip through those pages, what thoughts lie behind that paper’s shield, so high?

Where do you wander, when you seek to fly?

Who holds your secrets, when the world weighs heavy?

These questions, like shadows, follow me, so steady.

When fear creeps in, and you need a release,

I want to be your breath, your moment of peace.

Inhale me, exhale me, let me in to your world,

Give me your fears, let me be your evade.

I want to whisper life when your world comes crumbling down.

I want to feel the weight of your battles.

To be the lips you curl around, the one you consume,

Escape the world’s rage and come discover the realms within me.

Trace a path of fire with your lips, from the curve of my neck to the tender expanse of my…well, I’ll let you decide.

Unleash the tremors, ignite the volcano within our being.

I long to leave my mark, to etch desire with my nails as you delve into the abyss.

Plunge into the depths, let passion spill over, never fear the hunger you awaken.

Lock eyes with me as you venture further into the unknown, don’t shy away from the intensity.

May I explore the sanctity of your soul? Do you desire the connection of our gazes?

Summon me from slumber for another dance of ecstasy, and I shall welcome it with open arms.

They say men like you, are hard to impress,

With hearts on sleeves, in vulnerability, still I confess…you got my attention

I’ve been thinking about all the things I would do, if you let me

I have been thinking about how love is best served warm,

What I offer you need, this is what you’ve been craving for

With me, there are no limits, I’ll go the distance,

All you need is to let go of the past’s persistence.

Let’s find that place, where only we can be,

Let me be your pleasure, your solace, your sea.

Our union will be a symphony, something you have only dreamt of,

When we move, worlds will collide, magic will be woven, you will be fulfilled.

Fast, slow, wild or tender, we can explore together to reach new heights,

You rise, and I rise, that’s how life is enriched.

I will be singing your name in your ears, the neighbours will start to envy,

Because magic we make each time our skin caresses each other.

You in the depths of me, and me intertwined with you, that’s the eternal bond I yearn for.

You within my sanctuary, unravelling the mysteries I’ve kept guarded,

You would want to savour every moment with me, our connection will be legendary, you will want to share our story, you would want to thank the stars for it.

When our silhouettes align, I invite you to experience a bliss that transcends the ordinary.

A deep-seated thrill, I long for you to embrace the power that courses through your veins.

Let me gaze into the depths of your being as we entwine.

Observe the joy you ignite within me, to chart the distant lands you lead me to.

In your fervour, I find an unyielding force; do not waver, press on until my cries for surcease echo in your ears, the spark that sets my spirit ablaze.

Mold me, evoke the very essence of my womanhood, evoke rapture.

Every day, you’re in my thoughts, in every way,

A silent dance, between us, in the light of day.

A connection, unspoken, yet so profound,

In the quiet café, where our worlds are bound.

Dear Reader: I tried my best to be as respectful as possible, I used wordplay to hide a few uncomfortable words, I hope you see through then this poem will make sense…

All my love
