Let’s Lay…

For the Reader

I found myself in the mindset of wanting to talk about intimacy in a different way…And while writing Let’s Lay (which is split into two pieces) I realized that sex and intimacy are such taboo subjects…we seem to be scared to have opinions or acknowledge that we are sexual beings. And I think it’s ONE of the reasons so many adults and children (yes children) are having sex prematurely, for the wrong reasons and confuse what should be intimacy with what is just a physical act.

Just think, when Sade sang so beautifully, “You’re ruling the way that I move, And I breathe your air,” she was talking about a closeness that everyone longs for…an intimacy that’s indescribable. It’s the most special type of relationship possible because it’s defined through genuine feelings, emotions and love.

The first part of Let’s Lay is below. To read the rest, you must visit www.writerjns.blogspot.com. Hopefully this provides a shortened, clear picture of intimacy, in a unique format for all you grown folks in the building. :)

Peace,
JNS

Let’s Lay

I want to lay with you.
Trace your lips with my fingertips
Hold your hand
Cuddle
Fall asleep
Talk
Wrap myself deep inside your arms
Sleep some more
Rest my head on your chest
Be silent,
Allowing the absence of words to live in the air
Eyes closed
Enjoying each other’s presence
Wallowing in quiet
Desirable
Comfort,
Right before we…
