Dancing Dragons
I thought, back then,
that what I felt for her was love.
Jack said it was just lust
and certainly nothing less.
He had a point, she stank
of pure pheromonal passions,
Together we had an alchemy of ardor
and odor.
We grappled at sultry flesh
and made it speak.
There were no soft whispers,
howls and growls
were our feverish cravings
our furious devotions.
Jack said:
he could hear us thrashing together
clear across town,
that we were always on fire.
Even strangers saw us
through a blood red sexual prism,
their eyes darkening
as erotic dragons danced before them.
Jack was a bit of a poet.
I was simply a raging animal
caught in a love net,
but of course,
Jack already knew that.
