Intoxicating Eclipse

Let me know all your smells
I want to taste of them well.
Let me hold all your funk
and sweat with you.

An eclipse 
blending fire
melting ice
filling limbs heavy
with weight untold.
Hot flames flicker
flesh most ready
heaving writhing 
they meet
in a dark void.

And then,
as ashes smolder
they rest 
in awe
in sweat
in the intoxication
of an eclipse.

Congratulations Sue, On your sexually explicit (now where's the damn illustrated guide) poem being featured. I guess now when I see an eclipse, I'll think of the song "There's a moon out Tonight." At my age I start breathing heavy just having my morning coffee. God Bless. Vince
