NICOLE VOICE Nicole Voice is a novice poet, hoping to win over readers with evocative, erotic, and scantily clad poems. These poems are not entirely nude, however, and maintain some decency by keeping their shoes on.

WH AT

WE NEED

All we need is fourteen lines, well, thirteen now, really all I need is you and you’re here now so I have all I need now, and I will always need you now and then, don’t you like the sound of that now, I need your fingertips to play around with my tie now, and mine will spin now and again down the curve of your spine, and you will need to whisper “now take your time,” and now there is little time left, I need so much more now to get to know you better, I need to know you better. I need your wide brown eyes to read my future, because all I need now is hiding under my satin covers, now you need to whip off those blue cotton Hanes because it’s now or never, so need me now so it can be done.
