The animal within grows anxious
A pacing beast of claw and teeth
Eyes fixed, eyes deep, eyes hungry
A mouth bites like scythe meeting the flesh of plums
Strong, fierce, my bones desperately gnawing against yours
*
Legs leap finding grip in your shoulders, your hips
They tangle, wrapped snakes and tiger tails; whipping; twitching
Sat on top, prey caught, looking down upon a flushed face
Reaching in, salt on the skin, a flourishing tongue
*
Oh the sweetness of surrender.
Oh the sweetness of success.
*
Biting into your neck, my prey, my catch.
Like a beast feeding upon your noises. Your touch. Your warmth within.
Breath escapes, careening out like a billow of soul.
Searching for a place to land, hide, arching towards heaven
My mouth captures it, essence flowing in, becoming part of me
*
Bodies coming together, apart
Magnets, planets, trapped in each others force and field.
*
Oh, the ending. Salving my thirst, that hunger
Freed from my belly, like an eagle forcing wings
Out. Out from my mouth, a cry like the howl of Wolf.
Groaning against the weight of the stars
Exploding within my bosom, little fizzing blossoms
Shooting across your midnight eyes.
*
My mouth on your neck, on your mouth
Breathing in your exhaustion, your satisfaction
Wet from my swim in that deep water of your spirit
Licking up the dew drops that fell upon the open
Field of your nape, the wave of your lips, curling down
*
