Appetizers In The Light

Inside the bedroom window
the blinds open
but a storey
above street level
their actions
go undetected

The afternoon blaze
of a hot sun
trickles orange
across her naked body
a nap short-lived
taking advantage
to appreciate
the splendour
of daylight hours
prying her open
to satisfy his tongue
along the crease
her changing breath
a clear indication
that she concedes
to the chosen direction
but the chain of lust
must be circular
shifting position
to swallow
the length of him
into her mouth
his rapid pulse
intensifying
the more he licks
and the more
she swaddles him
in the confines
of her caring,
compassionate mouth

In these treasured hours
they will go back and forth
for the span of the afternoon
in the glow of natural light
extending the shower
of curious sensations
in diligent devotion
to entice
the long, neglected nectars
of their nefarious needs.
