Love

The word in your accent
Feels suddenly warm, clear
Like light reflected in beams
Off of a spinning crystal
Warm and bright and clean

When it is night
We form an alliance
Walking on untouched paths
Trembling together in shadows
Shaking into a confused union
Only to feel the rise and fall
Of breathing in an embrace

Shawerma

Close your mouth softly around me
I'll leave my flavor on your lips
Close your eyes and gently bite me
Break away slow from my tip
Your sensuous tongue let it curve
Moisten me and break me down
Among my textures let it swerve
Humus and tahini finely ground
I'll melt inside your enzyme embrace
Give me over to your molar powers
I hope you never forget my taste
Remember, I love to be devoured
