We met deep in silence No sweet-speak required 'Neath a mist-mottled moon And the mood it inspired ... So drawn to each other Like magnets to ore A nuked conflagration Fast-melting our core ... Delved each other's eyes And warm flesh, in turn Through a visceral shiver Too cold not to burn ... Mixed feverish touches And mouths tangy-hot Desires swirled deeper Our limbs in a knot ... Such a scorching inferno Such fierce, torrid flame Such an odd thing that you ... Never asked for ... my name. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "I'll Never Forget What's His/Her Name" Poetry Contest, John Lawless, Judge & Sponsor.
