sanctuary

Windowglass stained by lights of passing cars..
Your fingers follow them across my body,
Painting me lightly from hip to ribcage.
I find salvation between your lips,
Your tongue drags me into confession,
My voice cracks when I admit I love you.

Do you feel when I touch your face
Redemption is a heartbeat away?
When I lick the sweat off your neck,
My fingers digging into your shoulders,
My legs pulling you in closer,
I taste divinity.

Immortality
reigns in the ways our legs meet
in the way our eyes tangle
in the way our fingers melt into
each others bodies, stroking
corpuscles, capillaries, contorting
the straining tendons.  Blood-filled
burning arousal surges through me,
sears its way through my legs
curls toes, I taste blood on my lip,
breath held, I fade for a moment
then I'm revived on my way to heaven
