Passionate Painting

Here, in my sacred sanctuary,
you stand before me~
a modern Zeus sans everything;
Your skin exudes a musky scent~
enthralling my elusive senses.

Your ember gazes 
erupting volcanic voltage 
that runs through my veins
penetrating my ebony canvas,
as I trace your midriff 
little by little ~
with my paint-dipped fingers.

You're defeating me softly ~
My hands from gentle strokes 
go wild, wilder to wildest
till paints run deep- very deep!  

Hands up! I am drowning!
This battle I know I can't win!

Now I,
I am a captive
of your heavenly fervour~
Lost in the abyss of your spell
my hands glide through your face,
down to your bosom...
paints scatter in sultry silence.
