Afterglow

Sweat glistening on pallid skin,
icy hot, heavenly sin,
throbbing moments of sanguine zin,
Verdant shades of grey.
whispers of passion, ecstasy,
Invisible chains, bound, free,
Longing for what the flesh can see,
Bittersweet anticipation.
Nibble of a crimson lip,
Gasp into another kiss, 
Thrusting against blushing bliss,
Carnal desire submerged.
Nerves drunk with vertigo,
dripping, spasms of afterglow,
Sated thirst, starving ego,
collapse into embrace.
Drift away, a languid dream, 
Haunted by a moan, a scream,
Perfumed sighs, claws, cream,
Until we meet again.
