Hedonist Air by Lori Desrosiers

This poem originated because my friend Karen said one day that she thought I had a "hedonist air" which made me think, wouldn't it be interesting if hedonist air was a thing, like a sensual wind...

Hedonist Air

I will lead you under the rain,
expose you to island winds
feed you raw fish and coconuts.

I will softly tickle you
behind the knees, underneath your arms,
in the soft spot between your legs.

I will make the sea bed for you,
grow a reef to shelter you from
ocean storms and my hot lightning,

I will whisper a song in your ear,
blow blues behind your neck,
rock and roll your tongue.

I will make your body bend
your skin shiver,
your tears flow unabated.

But, when I have you,
I will brush you by
and leave you wanting more.
