love story with dragons
there is a mighty river that has no bridge. & beyond that,
a sea full of islands with exotic names like Maarten, Kitts,
Barbuda, Antigua. somewhere in the vastness of these
islands, a woman composes lovesongs & commends them
to the air where there was none. her poems are edicts
designed to battle the dragons of her past, hoping they’ll
be consumed by their own fire.
on the other side of the river is a wandering minstrel, a
wayward knight in armor made of denim. he’s captured by
the mythic beauty of her verses, which compels him to bind
himself to her. & he has the audacity to call it love.
he wonders about her dragons, how they compare to his:
winged serpents made of sorrow & lost dreams. but the
biggest dragon is named loneliness.
being a needful & lonely chevalier, he considers his own
corruption – how honorable is a knight who makes love to
her, & her, & her?
a man is made of flesh, & women too. he hears the sexual call
of a desirable woman whose yearning is the same as his, & he
goes willingly. the fever of their embrace is unyielding; the intensity
ascends like roaring flames as they explore their blending nakedness
with the thrill of hands & mouths. he roams the desert of her body &
finds each oasis marked with an invisible X, & she in her hunger
discovers & violates the hot-spots on him.
he locks himself into the quintessent chamber of her, & she wraps
him in the velvet-covered strength of her arms & legs. they ride hard on
a carnal trip that carries them to a peak that doesn’t need fancy poetical
words – it’s the cumshot that lovers know!
later, he’s back on the banks of that bridgeless river. he thinks about
the Antilles woman who armors his heart with her affection, bares herself
to him in her poems, & he wonders if love is mighty enough to slay dragons…
