Like forgiveness long delayed --
It was your thirst that awakened my essential need.
Without permission, you parted my lips --
Your kiss converting my intended words to mist.
With the first taste of delicious dread, I returned to nothing and everything.
And a concrete heart reverted at once to malleable terracotta earth –
Reincarnating to its true nature within your embrace.
You -- hot and tranquil like smouldering wood.
At your unspoken request, the enlivened me arched in reply.
The instinctual desire to be set free to immerse in your blaze.
Hands and lips –flesh and breath –
Curves and twists and angles and inclines.
In a trance – in a frenzy –
Conceding to a native, visceral bliss.
An acknowledged brief ecstasy …
Alive and breathing, it starves for air when forced or kept.
Oh … just for a little while … set me free …
To ignite.

This is so subtly beautiful, and I hope you post many more like it
We'll just keep writing 'til there's nothing left to write.
We'll just keep waiting 'til they read all our works left to right.
Well done!
Wonderful imagery and subtle eroticism, this is art in rendezvous with relentless whirling words that creates a scene of breathless tangled limbs in an afterglow.
