Sparks

A poem

Photo by Tom Morel on Unsplash

A thousand pleasures lie On your skin’s supple surface A panacea to my aching soul. Your mouth, tender and willing, I worship their sweet petal-softness Responsive to my touch.

Your love built circuitry, forbidden At first, to my numb heart. Electrons, emotions, high-tension wiring. Ecstatic, my heart lept, embracing The felicity of emotion, Warming, igniting, re-starting. It knew this state, (deja vu?) Sparking renewed life.

A thousand pleasures lie, On your skin, body, soul, Refreshing my aching spirit. Savouring your scent, sweet, Skin close to mine, Your lips, your touch, your heart, Responsive to my touch.

~thanks for reading~
