Too Bright the Night

We had to go outside
our different worlds to meet.
Detonations of lust
drove us into an inner-space.
That ocean between your legs
led me to dive deeper.
You grabbed handfuls of my flesh
made muscles sing
on a tightly stringed lute.

Our star got too bright
the darkness we played with
too light.
Gray was the dawn
when we left that magnetic house
where bodies were flames.
Grey that path that led us
on separate ways - blood-dazed.
