Wander-Lust

Eroticism - a supple spine in a wanting curve and a foolish fever simmers a scarlet heartbeat - temptation is an aphrodisiac as guilt is a red kite lost in a hot hurricane a strand of blue moonstones plunge to titillate illicit points of contact caught by starlight restless yin-nerve-endings take an edgy stance - primal presence pearls beneath parted flimsy fabric ah.. gossamer chic taken and tossed by windy hands freeing moons and earth captured in your orbit golden hair a dirty tangle flies streamers of infidelity seized in someone else’s hands heat-seeking rhythm throbs within walls a slapping popping bass line frenzy our bodies wild like a warehouse rave a driving beat hugging hips caught in a fishnet shimmy high on oxytocin and fizz of affaire du jour - unbridled breakers breaking vows in a whipped up gale as hedonistic hot spots revel in unrestrained spindrift .. it’s a jungle for conjugal love .. volcanic ash streaks a feral romance carnal cat - a hungry stippled stray - pins me down like prey in a dopamine storm where edges rendezvous soft and hard and fuse a silhouette of geometry body-painted in black sands as the surge uncurls the waves — dreamscape escape on a slick onyx sheet nakedness blurs in the rough charcoal smudge shapes shaded with a roll on the rim of a graphite night the art of cheating sins stain a seedy portrait on skin yet basks in the moonbeam’s push into the pulse without mercy or justification - just unadulterated adulterated.. euphoria!
