I love you <br />in my shirt <br /> <br />the big silky Byronic one <br />(you know the one) <br /> <br />that clings <br />to each and every curve <br /> <br />and turns <br />your body into song. <br /> <br />I watch it <br />(enviously) <br />as it touches <br /> <br />the tops of your thigh <br />(Oh...sigh!) <br />as it touches <br /> <br />the nape of your neck <br />(Oh...my!) <br /> <br />your breast <br />altering the frontage <br />(be my guest <br />what care I?) <br /> <br />your tautened nipples <br />(Jesus...wept!) <br /> <br />and the tail end <br />caressing the gentle <br />curve of a buttock <br />(I openly weep!) <br /> <br />see-through in sunlight <br />(enough...enough!) . <br /> <br />Take this chalice <br />...please! <br /> <br />Don't get me wrong <br />I don't want my shirt back! <br /> <br />You want <br />the shirt <br />off of my back? <br />You can have it! <br /> <br />I'd give it to you <br />anytime! <br /> <br />I just <br />wish <br />I was <br /> <br />...that shirt!<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-shirt/
