Study closely enough to see the beauty

A fleeting glimpse just won’t do

Remain focused on the surface-

For gazing deeper brings us

To ponder another dimension

And lights play beautiful tricks

With the crystal prisms of the morning dew

From within the concealing darkness

Pounding rhythm creeps into my bones

Steady as a metronome

And I know that your heart still beats for me

My spirit soars like a kite aloft on an impetuous breeze

As I read the words that you scribed for all to see

Tears come as I begin to grasp the possibilities

Receding into the cover of shadows

Crimson theft of mid-tones

Revealing monochromatic starkness

Your skin is as smooth to my eyes

As she is to my touch

And my hand traces paradise on your inner thigh

Velvet and satin present no rival

Obsessed with the heat

Whispering catabolic encouragement

I come inside your canyon

And swim within your river’s flow

With unquenchable thirst I drink like I’ll never get my fill

You bring your chalice to my lips giving me all you have to give

Your sighs tell me all that I need to know
