it beckoned me

whispering your name

unleashing a legion of fire breathing dragons

from deep inside my veins

splashing onto my glistening skin

frolicking

rejoicing

dancing in a torrid ecstasy

gliding across my quivering body

saturating me with your swirling passion

and at the height of their celebration

I heard a faint distant sound

a stirring from deep within

a rustling of leaves in a primeval forest

expanding into a thunderous drum 

rendering all of my senses asunder

my breath inhaled you

my every pore exhaled you

as the splendour of your precious liquid love

erupted

overflowed

giving golden wings to my grateful heart

carrying me to the edge of the universe 

I lay there smiling

as the dragons marched into my eyes

returning to their peaceful slumber

I was listening to the wind today

it spoke to me

and whispered your name
