The Zenith

My sweet precious man
My darling boy
You think you feel the heat
Oh, but little do you know
The zenith is yet to come

You are warming nicely
Fingers of fire under your skin
A healthy pink glow
As you take the heat in
The zenith is yet to come

You are searing nicely
I watch you begin to sweat
From every pore everywhere
Getting a nice salty wet
The zenith is yet to come

Everything else fades
Your mind and body burn
In my blaze about to faint
And yet you still yearn
The zenith is....almost...here

Sizzling flesh, scorching flares
Devoured by each ray
You beg for release
Tired of Sunshine play
THE ZENITH HAS...C...O...M...E

Anticipation, realization, reward! I wonder if the good man will be able to withstand the titanic forces that these three emotional storms bring! If he does, then blessed would he be! Wonderfuly written! Lucky man!

No place like home, Richard......Not even all the lights of Vegas can outshine the beauty of a place where you are loved and cared for. Glad you had a good time.
