Game Night

Soul splinters,
divided like
shelter-halves
I played
army, for two years past.
Performing foreplay on self
gently stroking 
temples 
wondering what's next?
exploiting a perfect
opportunity
Dew recycles the
residual effects 
of morning drizzle as
rain soaks a lover's skin 
dark circles 
protrude through 
a silken blouse
Doused, rinsed 
and cleansed, 
baptized within 
My mind wraps around
ideas, massaging 
visions into fruition,
as I come to 
 I hear her faintly...
begging more than asking
"Can you feel me?"
As if my soul had splintered 
in two and the center of me
became seed for you.
Yes, I feel the outskirts 
and exact position 
of a quickening pulse. 
To a certain degree,
Fahrenheit and Celsius 
couldn't compute 
how thoughts of you
generate heat. 
Take me the way
knights dance
around checkmate
I'll wait...
