Midnight Funk

I wanna harmonize
With you until we are
Sticky with sweat
And passion
Like a slow grind
On a warm night
Like summer in New York
I wanna be so close to you
That we canÕt tell
Who owns what body part
And ainÕt nothing in the room
But musky steam
And the smell of latex
Shadows and flesh kissing flesh
As the glow from the street light
Makes us glisten in the darkness
AinÕt nothing like sweat on a black man
To disturb the temperature
In my cool
I wanna vibrate with you
Until we canÕt move
Until sleep grabs us
By the waist and
Wrestles us to the ground
Thirsty and hot
But too tired to care
And all we can do
Is hold on to each other
So the rotation of the earth
DoesnÕt slam us against
A wall
And ainÕt nothing around
But bare mattress
And tangled sheets
Lingering funk and
Somewhere the dreaded
Wet spot
Cause ainÕt nothing like
Naked and stank
Hard sleep donÕt come easy
I wanna taste the
Testosterone in your fluids
Your skin is
Calling my name
I wanna see the look
In your eyes
When you canÕt help
The feeling
And politeness is forgotten
In a rush of stimuli
Breathe in and breathe out
I love playing between
Your thighs
And ainÕt nothing in here
But things that rhyme
With high like
Thigh sigh eye
I canÕt let you pass me by
Cause ainÕt nothing like
Fingers probing for dark and damp
In the glow of moonlight
As slip is a verb
Action is a noun
And on the radio is
Midnight Funk
