Bath Water

by Derek A. Brown, Sr.

if I was yo bath water
I would wait patiently in the tub for your body to enter
you would be my center of attention for the duration of your stay
and
every bathing session would be another lesson in sensuality
as I casually swish against your natural candy...
if, I was yo bath water

if I was yo bath water
my temperature would consistently match yours
I would make love to your pores and hair follicles
with every motion and movement you make in my watery embrace
I would caress your face when you submerge
and every curve would get the cornering it deserves
if, I was yo bath water

if I was yo bath water
I would rise to the occasion when imitation bubbles run flat
I would help you relax in ways 
that would amaze you more than Jesus did people in the biblical days
my gentle waves would splash against your navel
and each breast would have her own individual cradle
if, I was yo bath water

if I was yo bath water
I would never drain
your tub would show no stains or rings
and
I would always be clean
as would you
I would move in and out of your cracks and crevasses 
and the only evidence that I was there
would be that trembling in your knees
and that glazed over stare
if, I was yo bath water

if I was yo bath water
shid, I'd try to drink myself
because if you taste half as good as you felt
they should bottle yo ass and keep lots of extras on the shelf
this way
people who are curious 
can see exactly what sugar in the raw tastes like when it melts

if, I was yo bath water
if, I was yo bath water
if, I was yo bath water

how often would you bathe in me?
