Tango

From my lips sweet words spill forth 
Unto your reddened, velvet tongue. 
Honeysuckle they would speak, 
But that they perish in their infancy 
As tactile sensations mesh. 
No mourning succeeds to dampen 
An ignited passion in such a state - 
Savor the fleeting moment:
Venus and Mars’ union in celestial paradise. 
With velvet against velveteen, 
There is no friction, 
Only completion. 
Into eternity lead me, 
With Cupid’s cherub gaze,
To a satiated cove of desire.
