In the darkness, in the light, and the shadows in between
I am shrouded, I am cloaked, in my desire
Just us two, you and me, me and you, here and now
In a moment shaped for our embracing
Come with me, take my hand, join me in the dim
Merge your carnal lust without reserve
Let us taste, let us feed, lets us feast and gorge, devour
Bodies fair, bodies soft and hard and eager
Lay me out, strip you bare, possess, control, restrain
Set us free with rapture sharp and bright
Fusing lips, melting tongues, fingers searching, flesh grasping
Selfish and noble pleasure bound
Lick the sheen, sip the nectar, savour flowing juice and cream
From cups of woman and of man
You are mine, I am yours, just for each other longing
To submit, to surrender, to release
Look only now to a dawn, to a morning never shining
To the night shielding our primal tryst
I have missed a lot during my time away this past week or two, but this is one of the most impressive. I love the rhythm of its language, love the feel, the rise and fall of its lilting touch. And its portrayal is searingly intense.
Beautifully done!
