You Read My Mind Poem by Chamanda Yvette

How is it that you can explore the deep recesses of my mind?
Nimbly, your words and your tone caress the places no man could reach.
Areas that were secret…even from me
I didn’t know those places existed
But you did…you touched me there, right there…please stay there
What began as a ripple is now a full tidal wave when I hear your voice
Anticipating the heights and depths of ecstasy you will bring me to
Begging you not to go
Pleading with you to go further, deeper than ever before
You are intimately acquainted with my inner most thoughts
How much more of me is there left to discover?
