Images of Love

Like a harmless snake Coiled around. Soft smooth Wrapped tight Yet not restrictive Unpossessing Still giving room To breathe Like fire. Gentle tongues Of flame licking. Sensuous warmth Flooding, touching,. Reaching every nerve With a hot intensity Of passion. Like a stone. Cold,rigid Ungiving. Set and immovable. Possessing the place Wherein it stands. Hardened, unjoyous, Itself in name only. Like a comfortable Pair of worn shoes. So easy to Slide into. Relaxed,free. Giving movement Yet cushioning Every step.
