abominations
with fierceness
i stretch out as bait
twisting the bedsheets in laughter
as you stumble to taste
and be caught by my silk, my skin


ragged breath
extinguished by exhaustion
the night boils over
daylight sneaks through the window
we roll into sleep, neatly lain between us
an ageless sleep
in which we are given knowledge
but
we are young, stupid with vitality
awaken to grins of delight
turning, once again
to fleshful plunder
the crippling effect
of skin buzzing
in tandem with my curiosity
trying to imprint
upon fingertips
gliding over toasted hills and gullies
trickling over broad shoulders, overworked and taunt

lean cut muscle, i handpicked at the eastern market
spoiled me to an emperor's delight,
not greek nor roman, but flavored with cocoa and vanilla
sweetness groping my tongue

my body wonders aloud
to the melted clockwork of love,
i never know what's what
yet i can feel the dusty creep of loneliness

my hands weep
when barren
they will never forget drinking nectar of ambrosia
crying like a silly little girl
voice trembling with the ring of your name
as you move mountains
toward the city
sex
the cruise
decay
