The Blanket on Your Bed
by RuNett Nia Ebo
Let me be the blanket on your bed.
I want to be the blanket that envelopes your
Beautifully sculpted, dark chocolate body.
You, my Love, so strong; yet you would need me.
You could reach for me without shame.
Ebony King, let me be the blanket on your bed.
I want so much to be your shield against the cold,
To protect you from dust; to shelter you so nothing
Can harm you as you sleep so peacefully beneath me.
Some men think it unmanly to need someone.
It is hard for them to admit their desire for a woman.
Still, if I were your blanket, no one would know.
No one would know that you reached for me
In the middle of the night. They would not know
That you held me tight. No one would know.
No one but me.
No one would know how your body feels beneath me
When I sense you breathing so slow, so easy
As I touch you everywhere!
Wrapping myself around you, encasing you.
Helping you be secure through the darkest nights.
Love, let me be that special blanket on your bed.
That comforter you ease under
When the day has been cruel.
Let me touch your shoulders, so broad, so brown
Baby, let me trace you all the way down.
Let me caress you with the softness of a whisper
And shift as you turn below me. Oh please, let me be;
Yes, let me be the blanket on your bed.
I would cover you as I drink in the sight of
My Cocoa-Butter Prince.
I would marvel at your arms and hands, so powerful
And giggle as I nestled on your navel, probably,
The smallest thing about you!
Circling your waist would make me smile and
Kissing your thighs, I would linger for a while.
I would massage your hips with a feather-like touch
As you changed position and I would truly
Treasure those times you slept only in
That which God gave you.
Oh, to behold something so fine and know
That if only for a night, it is mine!
Rubbing against you might arouse and give you pleasure.
My pleasure would be from my treasure which is you.
Please, let me be the blanket on the bed where you sleep.
On second thought, Big Daddy,
I would rather be your sheet!
