WARNING: Explicit Content

The following is a collection of nineteen word statements crafted as part of a personal exercise in skill-building. Though I plan to expand on this concept and create other topics of nineteen word sets, this introductory piece focuses on the wildly popular and forever taboo topic of physical intimacy, to put it politely. I encourage other writers to get in on the fun by posting their own nineteen word statements on the topic. Please be sure to use the hashtag: #19wordstomakeyousweat.

Needing
Folding
Rolling over
Like dough
But flesh
Raising and falling
Hot
Against
The softness of my bed sheets.

Coast across my skin
Your tongue
Wide
Flat
In perfect spoils
That chill my flesh
And burn my soul.

The depth at which
You come to be
Within
Is
The depth at which
I need you
To be.

Peel me back
Clenching fists
Arms and legs
Around you
List
When you let go
Trembling
For your return.

Long fingers
Stronger fingers
Wide cool palms
My sides
The path on which you ride
Into my very being.

Lay your body into me
Caress me deep
And soulfully
Do not wait
Or hesitate –
Inside
Each bit
Trembles.

Let us live forever
Immortal
In this space
Our own heaven
That exists
In every place our skin touches.

With a richness
In color
In shape
In depth
I welcome the drowning
Breathlessness
And desperation
Of this submission.
