Subtle and blunt

Soft light and warm
a touch welcomes home
bed red and hot
heat rushes up
fire pulse and ache
welcomes us again
like waterfall 
empty and full
soaked until I know no more
something calls me here
drinking sweet red and full of fear
drunk on pulse and desire
thoughts began to dewire

This one pulses with heat and surrender--raw, rhythmic, and hypnotic. “Drunk on pulse and desire / thoughts began to dewire” perfectly captures that spiraling unravel. You blur the line between body and emotion in a way that lingers.
