THE ART of LOVE

Lean back and let us
paint our words
feverishly across
our silken skin
tracing down the edges.

Our feathered touch
transcribing our lips
sign our name there
dripping carnal sin
forsaking all our pledges.

Reach out for our destiny
within sands of time
sifting through
life's hourglass
past, future and present.

Let's share in a warmth
embracing our ecstasy
setting ourselves loose
savoring what lasts
not intentionally hesitant.

Free to be desired
opened to pleasure
never to turn away
nor ever shut down
screaming our passion.

Our hearts beating
together in tune
bodies in sync
within each other bound
embraced in compassion.
