Bicycles Love Poems by NIkki Giovanni

NIkki Giovanni just put out a new book of poetry called Bicycles and I love it. Everyone should have a copy. These are two of my faves.

Your Shower
I wish I could be
Your shower
I would bubble your hair
Tickle my way
Down to your lips
Across your shoulders
And over your back
Around your waist
Bouncing off your knees
Fall to the tips of your toes
then journey back again
Warm Wet Sticky Sweet
Up and Down
Around and Around
Around and Around
Around and Around
Until
There is
No more hot water


I Like The Dance

I like the dance
I like the idea
of you in my arms
I like the gentle sway

I like the dance
I like your sweat
on my cheek
I like the way you breathe

Look at me
Look at me

I like the way I feel in your arms
