Thomas King Poet I do not know?

Love Gets Under Your Skin

Moist lips
Swollen with passion
Sent from thy red throbbing heart
Once resembling obsidian 

Nerves once numb 
Tingle and burn anew
As rivers of red
Course through
Thy once arid veins 

A cacophony
Of maddening inner voices
Echo within the hollows
Of a once silenced consciousness

Newly awakened emotions
Now ready to unfurl and blossom
Within thy once dormant being

Flushed skin warm and red
With new found emotions
Brighten the lingering gloom
Surrounding thy darkened dreams

As tears of new found reverence
Spill from once blind eyes
That once again behold 
The beauty and desire
Buried deep within thyself.

Alas life flourishes 
Abundantly growing
With each new word of adoration 
Whispered into thy long deaf ear

As love buries it’s self 
Deeper and deeper
Under thy now soft
And no longer pale skin…
