Night Dance
I reach for you, eyes closed -
for the seen cannot speak
as well as these fingertips.
Our senses are dipping birds,
each sip, a speech of sensuality
that opens our blossoming skins.
I round you with my hips and arms,
you turn me, gather me into
your awakening flesh.
How like a sweet fruit you are,
your succulence a spell that binds me
drunkenly to your aroma.
Plummet me my love,
let your fingernails rake
every thirsting need.
I am the lick for your hurts,
you the claws for my blood.
Together we dance for the dark,
entwined as vines
in this blindfolding night.
