Sex
She absorbs me
inhales my scent
on the tip of her tongue.
She cleaves me in her radiance
and follows me to bed -
where I lay her down
time and time again.
She breathes into my body
a fire that only her lips can ease.
A tempest in a harbour
she appeases and leaves me
without a trace.
I lay down at night
and her beauty serenades me to sleep
her fragrance drifts in through my window
and cushions around my blazing body
absolving me of my demons.
I’ve been disoriented
and held a servant of her sex.
How I wish that these mirages
were more than fiction night after night.
She obsesses me, walks beside me
and swims within my head..
Chants her melody of reflection
and flirts her hand of intimacy . . .
She drains me of everything but sleep
and leaves me for the victim.
I wake in the morning
her name on my lips.
Her hands still fervent
on my skin.
She intoxicants me
till I am nothing
but sex.
