In Between The Sheets

You was embedded in bone
buried in tissue
from the moment my lips
eagerly kissed you

My eyes became fanatic
of skin a dulcet dessert
Fingers came alive
as you unbuttoned my shirt

We howled under a full moon
the ravens took flight
fingernails left memories
moments of sweetness and light

The beasts caged no longer
liberated by love
caramel carnal desire
coating sins undreamed of

Racing to the edge of the unknown
that last look into your eyes
birth and death in your arms
wrapped in an iridescent disguise
