Forgiven Trespasses

Forgiven Trespasses Sensual sounds surround a scene of peaceful pleasure Pulsing flailing promises impossible to measure His torching voice eviscerates that massive measure of pleasure The treasures of solemnity No longer leads to leisure Lightning lips aglow disguise The coolness of lost slumber His glimmer gliding gorgeously Progressing on to wonder Needful night navigations Shimmering shadows in the dark Sullen soothing sensual On Psyche he leaves his mark Immortal mythic majesty With gods not meant to sleep Sizzling searing serenity With a lover she can’t keep. A collaborative piece with my friend and talented poet Imelda Garcia.
