A Traditional Loop
Mayhaps the ghosts of a chance,
Visiting me in the small hours,
Will loom large,they may creep softly...
I'll surrender to the rhythm that calls me home...
Curved and channeled downward,
Silken and sliding over my sheets,
Dripping nectar over my pores,
Everything stiffens unreleased...
Tread lightly on dangerous ground with me,
The fighting is close at hand ,
Your scent fighting for my headspace,
Alongside that ice blue stare....
Naked and pulsing,
We find liftoff...
Midriff spasms...
The arc of Venus....
