Quotes About Intimacy
I have always wanted to be both man and woman...to share valleys and mountains upon my body the way the earth does in hills and peaks. I would like to enter a woman the way any man can, and be entered--to leave and to be left--to be hot and hard and soft all at the same time in the cause of our loving.

Touching you I catch midnight as moon fires set in my throat I love you flesh into blossom I made you and take you made into me.
