Embers waiting for breath
my tongue is tinder catching fire.
Between you, a furnace roars
my hunger learns its language.

Your back is a scroll of heat
I read it with sweating palms.
Every sigh you loose into my ear
becomes a spark that brands me.

F|e|ast

I have taken a break from
eating meat
Now, all that is left to feast
on is you.

-

Raise amm!

Run hands over
calloused chest
You activate the tower
of Pisa in my brief.

-

They say blood is thicker than water
I have seen water that men will kill for
Allow me turn on this tap of body fluid

Gush water gush

-

Coin toss

You say you want head
I say it's a game of chance
we put passion up to
probability, but either way
we win.

Skin song

I have tested the tensile
strength of you, I know the song
this body sings when it
is touched right.

-

Assumptions

I watched my friends do the
foxtrot yesterday, it was their
first dance.

The groom said he slept through
the night, who would have thought.

Genesis

In the beginning,
you said light be
Blue lights flickered

And the evening and night
were the first date

...We ate the fruit, gored on it
naked, we hide behind blanket

-

And when the morning peek behind
the veil of night, there you lay
the spaces between your ears
filled with sweet nothings
his name dragged out of your moans
your fingers across the expanse of his back

-

I won't ask you not to read this poem
I will not warn you to stand guard
But do not be surprised when you
fall into the depth of this love
Wrapped in my hands and exhaling sharply.
