I look

through eyes of love

and whisper to my love

“come here so I can

wrap your arm

round my waist

let me rest my head

on your shoulder

Though the rain may fall

Or, the thunders may roll

and lightening may strike

The floods may rise

cutting us off

from the world

The nights may be cold

or full of heat

It has no matter

It holds no fear

For I am with you

I am warm

I am alive

I am safe

Your body mind and soul

are my sanctuary

You are mine

I am yours

and together

We are love”

~

And yet

our story

in the sheets

beneath

as then we share

within our lust

Where names are mewled

She grabs my hips

and there devours

my sacred space

her chalice mine

“Feed me”

is the echoed cry

the essence

flowing from

our swollen fruits

till we drip and drool

with mouthfuls

of each other

The heat of need

the scent of our

beloved release

written perfectly into

the sheets beneath
