Poet and Beast

Landscape of your body
was my transcendent pilgrimage 
from the lashes of your eyes,
resplendent in liquid sadness
to rising peaks of your breasts
from the nape of your throbbing neck
to the bead of sweat on your silhouette
from your lush lips parted just so,
anticipation etched in their quivering
to silken-smooth seduction of your thighs

my lips across your golden shadow
dancing red stars I mark on your soul
my hands scorching on velvet skin 
discovering moments that leave a gasp
my tongue ravenous in its journey
delving into the furnace of your moist desire

I put my lips on yours
copper taste of our crimson need
I put my hands in your hair 
smell of sin in every strand
in you I move with animalistic frenzy
your fingers deep into my skin
you scream my name
I yours...

You know--
I loved you like a poet
flawed, obsessed
I lusted you 
like a born-again savage.
