One Flesh

violent power seduces within
moments equipping assurance,
swirling senses of embrace, 
separating 
             circumstances
confusing the present.

our bodies succumbed-motionless
form clouds above, trembles of loneliness.

outpouring rivers of wine, 
her innocence, 
my softness 
aching squalls of temptation,
tender flesh 
discloses nature 
behind fine-combed meadows 
parting our conscious, 
                       consuming
lavender harlot kisses.

bearing our weight-drumming, 
steady-cadence-of- passion. numbing

spilled breath heavy as
saturating coastal fog.
peacefulness of sleep, 
caresses shivers across my legs, 
whirlwind tremors 
begin tensing her thighs,
(a suffocating serpent)

imprisoned between heavens
softness of touch, across abdomens.

for a moment,
shivering, 
exposed true nature,
life becoming no parenthesis, 
bodies wrapped in 
weightless vertigo-
