The Bass Player

I met him in Texas

He defines
Sexy

Hard muscles grace his tall, slim frame

He’s lean
No fat
No fillers
This bass player has nothing
but the good stuff.

He wears confidence like cologne
Intrigue rises from his skin
His dark eyes tell stories
of the lips he has tasted
of the women he left
Yearning
For more

I am
Enchanted.

He strokes the bass strings
Stirs mellow notes
that drip
into the air
Caress my neck
Slide down my back
and dance
All over my hips

With each stroke of the strings
He strokes me
And plays me
Like he plays that bass
Hard
Smooth
and Well

We do a dance of intention
I go to him
to feel
his touch
to know
his mystery
To be the woman in an affair yet to unfold
He touches my hand
His eyes never lose my gaze
and then
He backs away

He returns to the stage
where he holds me

in perpetual

Desire

I’ve heard everything is big
in Texas

This bass player put the biggest
Love Jones
on me.
