under Luna’s light
and Poseidon’s distant sight:
dark, rapturous night.
dreamlike shapes in the clouds, fleeting worlds of lucid imagination. endless stories among gravity defying vapors, mosaics of divine teardrops suspended by invisible threads. the face of god mirrored in mystic waters, the horizon at the crossroads of destiny - yet the smallest pebble conjures ripples, disrupting the whole of its being. infinitesimal cause of boundless effect: the slightest shift in the wind changes the world. our fate is balanced on the devil’s finger, an unpredictable motion of push and pull, near and far, tantalizing closeness and unreachable distance. we are yin and yang, frost and fire, energies colliding and coalescing into something less and something more.
sparks consume the air;
our skin, charged with desire,
longing to collide.
angels on your breath,
and paradise on your lips;
you taste of heaven.
a dance of passion,
melding ourselves into one;
blissful unity.
i could spend hours
writing poems on your skin
with my fingertips
the paradox of passion is the way
that love cannot by guided by the hand
of reason, nor do minds hold any sway
upon the heart’s untamed and wild land.
the steadfast heart, refusing to be ruled,
enslaves the bearer with its burning chains
and all the senses are forever fooled
by magic that a heart in love contains.
such fury is such folly in the eyes
of those who know not passion’s blissful might
but slaves of love know it to be unwise
to question passion’s power and delight;
for love, the ruthless queen of all men’s hearts,
brings order and chaos in equal parts.
you are fingertips burning in passion’s flame, you are chills down my spine, you are sparks igniting the air. you are the softness of summer grass, you are the glow of summer days, you are the warmth of summer nights. you are the scent of fresh roses, the sparkle of morning dew. i shiver at the heat of you, you tremble at my touch. i die in your arms, revived by your kiss. crossing the gates of paradise, ascension to the afterlife, heaven fills the senses, we find salvation in sin.
your heart’s slender hands
take mine in a soft embrace,
our souls synchronized.
each moment with you
flows with sweet lucidity
like a vivid dream
