dressing for dinner

i touch perfume to my wrists
my throat, the nape of my neck
and dream of your lips

brushing o so lightly behind my ear

as you breathe me in

i braid my hair 
and think of loosening it
to flow over you,

teasing your nipples into peaks,

tangling round the base of the fountain

when i sip

i put on make up
and imagine taking it off
to come to you
as new as morning,
don my loveliest dress
and envision you pushing it up
above my waist
while i wrap my legs around you
and pull you in

i feel your hands 
and your lips
along all my neural pathways
lighting me up
like a starry sky

i shall wear diamonds tonight
