Excerpt
This love
Bodies mirrored
And projected
Before an ancient Roman sky
This primal love of one’s own
An animalistic dance of domination
Flaunting cock sizes
Chests inflated
Shoulders broadened
And finally
Stern, but soft caress
A strong grip
And teeth grazing skin; threatening blood
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
