IGNITING THE SPARK

IGNITING THE SPARK
The deep, sweet abyss of our intimacy,
A wisdom shared in the dark.
A surrender, clumsy, then complete,
 A firm wish igniting the spark.
My skin, once marked and fiercely textured,
Coarse as the desert after rain,
Is now a bold, warm map against your own.
A living contrast to the milky plain.
