Love Poem: It May Not Seem

It May Not Seem

it may not seem 
to the naked eye
that fire burns
in the bye and bye
sparks within 
a sacred fire
combust the truth  
in a half-born lie
crafted in confusion
tight lips
unpry
in the valley
of your thighs
in the surrender
of spasmodic cries
did we almost die
were we lovemaking
on that try?
the pong of the ping
and power growing
was that volley singing
the song of our flowing?
do we come when we go
into the core of our hearts
do we reassemble
our orgasmed parts?
fragments of pain
from childhood’s wake
fierce fire
melts them whole
for love’s sake
tears follow rivulets
that laughter makes
as our bodies 
paintbrush 
this unmarked space
with whatever 
tongues we 
we choose to taste
the flavors of
our sweet embrace
that plunges us into
loving Grace
ours is the blessing
of passionate peace
wild lovers churned
by Indigo’s feet 
steel desire
silk’s caress sweet
we are the fire
where life 
and death meet
we are that place
where the sacred 
heart beats.
