Uncensored words flush lover’s cheeks Passionate secrets driven deep Their fingers slide on salty skin Pulsation where each touch has been Sweet cloying scent permeates the room Evokes memories from womb to tomb Crescendo ends the dance they started And keening cries of all departed A wish, a trance, a sated mist Enfolds a heated lover’s kiss Until rising clouds of virgin white Steal blinders that held hostage sight Together they meld into one With borrowed heat loaned from the sun Then, like Icarus, they churn and bend In golden glow slowly descend Into an ocean washed in blue Remaining one where once were two - Alison |

Blending the physically, erotic act sometimes with the tomb, meaning death is interesting and I like it. The melding into one is metaphorically structured, in my thoughts, as male/female=one. Then again, Icarus appears, so it just may be a poem about the Greek tragedy and they crash and burn. Fine reading anyway. ~ Those are my principles, and if you don't like them ... well, I have others. ~ |

quote: Isn't this just a most fitting poem for a Saturday night! There has been melting of snow in the surrounding mountains I am sure, dear Alison. Conscious passion I would call this. Most beautifully rendered. Love, Margherita  |

Lori, Thank you. I think this is my favorite poem that I have written. It's special to me. Love, A - Dark Man, I thought that science was after math. No wonder I didn't do well in science.
