Ventus: Being a Dialogue for Lovers
co-authored by willa beale
did the delicacy of You hear that? did You feel it in the swell of your loins as i did? what a lovely thing You are. Isn't there Something in an unexpected thing that burgeons and bellows? Isn't there much mirth in all our mannerisms? when You come to me at night or in the morning and do certain things for me i quiver unapologetically. You are so good. Isn't there loveliness in form and function? Isn't there a sweetness to my perception? Isn't there a Gentle Wind that loves me so? when You press yourself unto me and i feel the soft breath of Your relief don't i know that i am Yours? You are so fucking good. Unquiet when you put your mouth near, haven't you then whispered to me Sweetness, haven't you then uttered such pleasantries? did the animal of You like that? do You feel better now, do You feel as i do: quite well about what We are? There's grace in the graceless. Isn't there a Raucous Sentiment to share? Isn't there a bit of tension to release? when i do it, i bet You are also quite taken by me, i bet You are also quivering like me when You do it and i just—o! i just die a bit— Can you feel the temptation now? You must understand what I want: The Delicious Sensation of You Across Me. the tension simply folds me, doesn't it? You simply fold me with a breath, don't You? You simply fucking fold me with a breath— And isn't it simply a bit of Surrender? Isn't that why you like to Share Yourself, why you're also a bit Breath-taken by Me? i feel so bad for how bad i want You; i feel so wet like a rancid dog for You, i feel so gross in the greatest of ways. Something there is that loves to Vent. Something there Is. Something there is that Loves to Love you. i want You on my skin, i want to feel You; i want to feel Your breath on my skin; i want You to vent to me, Sweetness. You are So Fucking Good, like a breeze in August across glittering fields while the sweat dries on my brow. I hunger. i need You to look in my eyes and tell me: i need You; i want You; i need You; come. i need You to do that for me, okay? I need you to relax. I need you to let loose and know that I will love you regardless. I need you to let me love you How I Am & How You Are. the tension simply folds You, doesn't it? i'll bet You never knew how lovely i am. i'll bet You never knew how horny You are. I'll bet you don't even know what I'm talking about. I'll bet you sit up late wondering what I mean. I am worshipping an Ignorant Little Goddess. i am so into worshipping You, ignorant little godling, when You come to me at night, or in the morning, and do that thing—You know the thing—oh, deliver me. I consider you the way I consider Gardens. I consider you the way I consider the Sea and the Stars. I consider you the way I consider Wind and Fire. stoke my flames, You charming descant: blow on me. pass a bit of You on to me: bestow Yourself on me. fucking tease me. torture me. tantalize me, please. Hold back, you can hold back. You don't even know how much power you have right now. You don't even know how much I Want You, yes— can You even hold it or do You want release so bad, baby, do You want me to tremble for Your love? do you want me to beg for Your aching airy love? If you—yes, and then—yes, you are—yes, o! God— I will be Quiet and Listen to You and let you sunder me—yes, I will let you Unravel Me. will You think of me later, when i message You an innocuous little nothing, will You remember how You felt with me on top? Do you want me? Really? Or are you just a bit Hungry to Be Loved? I can be someone you need. I can be Someone You Want, too. will You think of me and how i spoke to You with a voice like Your own desire and with fingers like flickering flames against Your wet lips? Listen: You are so good, my love. You are So Fucking Good. I am Fortunate to Know You. I am blessed to be a Safe Haven for Your Love. will You think, or just beg; will You remember, or just get hot? i think i am tired, but i don't want to stop feasting on Your Darling Rosebud. When I hear Your Warm Breath by my ear I am utterly devastated by the rapture of What Transpires Inside You, Inside Us. when i feel the warm breath by my thighs i am utterly reinstated as Your quaint air shuffles between Our perspiring bodies. I love you. As I hold you this way, cradling you, with my hands entering Places You Know Much Better Than I Do, you know I love you. i love You as i kill what the day did to You as i curdle under Your lips and cough and cry my moaning little supplicant gasps for You. There is not much I could not be for you, now. If you asked me to be nothing, I would Go Forever. If you asked me to be everything, I would Hold You. i want to hear You again when You are cleaning off in the washroom, i want to hear You shudder and quake with the remains of Your wretched love for me. There is not much I wouldn't become for you, now. If tomorrow you Wanted the Sea, I would bathe you. If tomorrow you Wanted the Desert, I would drink you. i want to hear You again tomorrow morning when we wake up and suffocate the night between Us i want You then to press against me again and make music. I want to hear you again tomorrow morning, love. When that first light cracks the starry heavens, I want to crack you also like a Small Wet Stone. it makes me weep to look at You in the light of day You know it makes me weep in the moonlight to see You i am so in love with how nature loves You in small ways. I am so in love with the Small Ways Nature Loves You. It makes me weep to see the Sun kissing you better than I. It makes me love the Sun's kiss, and the Wind's, and the Rain's. i hope that You think of me when i am not with You i hope that You think of me when there is a long, unquiet breeze or when the steady churning oceans whisper their sweet lullaby. I hope I come upon your mind Unexpected, Still Welcome, even if you are A Bit Upset at Me, or if You Don't Want Me, I hope when I cross your mind that I am Your Cherished Hierophant. come. lay with me. once more. on the soft and cool. let me warm You. let me wash You in me. let me sing. let me give You what i have Gathered of Me Today. Let me kiss you once everywhere and then hold you. Let me fill you with the Warmth of Kinship and Loving Kindness. Let me Rinse the Romance from Your Mouth and Show You What Love Is. i have erred so often but never let my grace be undone. You have witnessed Me all my days since loving You. thank You. there is nothing else to say. i love You. I have erred so often but never let my guilt interrupt us. You have witnessed me All My Days Since Loving You. Thank you. What else can I say? I love you. I Love You.
— for all the Lovers of Earth & Their Kin
