In The Wilderness



Curls of freedom drift upwards as love sighs
her rhythmical language into cool minds,
prestidigitation roams coloured eyes
while somersaults catch laughter's breath in winds.
Apple turnover sensuality
licks at furious fine complexity,
visionary wisps slip across her moans,
casually fuelled sight enters soft groans;
rivers of sexual simplicity.

Seductive undertones reflect fresh light,
they glisten on imagination's tongue
while blue poetic sculptures I recite,
vanity's ache is no longer high-strung
as performance juggles delicious scent,
there's a choir I'm sure is Heaven-sent
for billows of splendour are pure power;
trapped within folds of our gorgeous flavour.

Wondrous personalities in romance
flicker flames of purpose through wild promise,
luscious presence swoons under warm fragrance,
musicality fractures the chorus,
there's a beautiful melody in dreams,
I plunder anticipation's fortress,
and release into her wonderful screams.

Relaxation stumbles before our fire,
shivered senses explode below bright bliss,
this plucked string night's flow will never retire
as intensity wraps tones in our kiss,
sprinkle speckles of universal care
into the dance of lovers in the air.

Silence pushes up against our soaked skin,
in the wilderness of white satin sheets
we crawl through the magnificence of sin
while our spirits capture athletic feats.

Sleep washes over us with rippled hues,
our storm's finished for now, we've paid our dues.
