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.
