Moonlit eyes mirror
Eternal constellations
Charge all that I know
Winter has now fled,
you will still burn in my blood
through any season.
We near the bright rush
exploding with grief and love
the price to be one
Fingertips breach velvet lips, drenched in fragrant nectar, in searing desire flowing.
Look where you wish to
secrets are nestled away
explore all of me
Elsewhere, looking at stars
Essence is the soul's signature.
Afterglows
Moonlight filtering in through curtains,
to paint tangles of us spilled together,
the sways of her body humming in the afterglow.
I can barely move during the stuttering frames,
frail limbs and muscles collapsed near you.
Unable to leave with the cold knowledge
that desire can make extinguished wreckage
of what we both want.
Something beyond us binds two together,
promising that even though you would
keep us stitched in fiction,
we'll regenerate through each calculated touch,
through sparks of your eyes locked in conclusion.
The pauses between thunder and lightning combusting,
we'll close this dangerous divide.
I'm alone for now tonight,
watching explosions drizzling unstable
rainbows across the dark sky,
the flying, spilling colors each their
own constellation coming undone.
I can hardly move during the strobing afterglow.
With the knowledge that my skin
becomes a lie waiting to see you,
that we'll connect and come to believe it
will be enough to hold the coil together
just a little while longer.
But hushed names and fluttering
sighs know how to ink fiction.
How to calculate the way hands entwine in the dark,
the vows made when we're locked in conclusion,
in the pauses between joining and not
knowing how to let go.
We'll close this dangerous divide.
A lone finger sheathed within, relentlessly pumping her wet and fiery depths.
