Orogenic Kiss

Rising from sylvan embraces
solitude
of the wild, wild wood
hunger burning deep within these
caverns and temples
within my misunderstood being;
haunted by you
touched by you
satisfied only by the
sweet nourishing currents
that course through your veins;
Soaring down from the mountains
on heavy black wings
in an avalanche of gabbro
accumulation of my dormancy
your scent
your heat
salts to revive me
warmth to thaw me;
Volcanic desire
fire
breathing the air
softening the hardness
of my plutonic heart
burning the fibres
of my arboreal soul
before plunging into the waterfall
momentarily destroying my composure;
Spirit reengaged
river’s current
supporting my weak state
towards your healing
thalassic body
waves of emotion
break over me
your liquid arms hold me
your saliferous kiss beguiles me;
How I missed this
elemental
perfect
you

Nigel this is provocative passion on steroids WOW!!!!!!! I can feel the intensity in this write. I had to sip a beverage in between lines just to cool myself before the crescendo. Marvelous piece. I think there is a new word in the dictionary for passion it is spelled NIGEL excellent piece Michael Torres

Another amazing write Nigel. The flow in this piece is perfect. The poem never loses a beat. I love the feel of the Greek ocean(thalassic), liquid arms hold me. Your love for the ocean is very evident. Chris
