Homeostasis

Without her love
I am
supine and catatonic
resting energy

E=mc2
squared

Mantra of melanin
black and white
we blend together

The consequence
of making love
is Olympism

Proverbial softness
sensibility and discernment
our internal systems burn
when I kiss her dark skin

Force of body
strength of reason
together we balance

When we unite
we are
perpetual
a complete
human being

an erotic
explosion of light...
