Thoughts During Sex

Teeth on your neck,
Warm breath
And the kind of heat
Only another body
Could create
When it touches you-
Fingertips colliding
In the darkness,
Folding lips
Devouring,
Dividing and conquering
Everything left to be
Discovered-
We are quickly running
Out of secrets….
Paper skin that inks
Red
For days before fading,
Waiting to be
Rewritten;
I've never known
A love
Not defined by
A purpose
For pain,
A tolerance to give
So you can take
In return-
I only know how to
Devour,
Divide and conquer
A body,
Sweet talk the guards
Of that glorious
Temple
So I can kneel
At your altar
To pray,
Say amen in your name,
Whisper words
In darkness like
A firm believer,
Light a fire
To teach you
What if feels like to be
Burning
From the inside….
So let the flames
Lick your
Eyes,
Gleam
In the street-light
Outside
That was our only witness-
Oh, God
I roleplay a mean
Servant of deliverance-
No one has ever
Bothered to study
A religion such as you….
And maybe I can fill myself,
Go home
And feel whole
The next day,
Body
Like a live wire
In the wake
Of a
Hurricane
That blew,
Fiercely,
Through the night-
We are only in the eye
And I can be your
Sleeping Beauty
In the sunlight-
But I've tried
Happily Ever After
And if you can climb
Past my magic defenses,
Of roses and walls
So tall a giant
Could not scale them
Then I will knight you
And make you my
Queen…
But like a fairytale
I don't last
Forever
And only Disney
Managed to make my
Story
Look pretty-
Let's remember
This all started
With
Whispered discoveries-
Teeth on your neck,
Warm breath
And the kind of heat
Only another body
Could create.
