I tossed and turned with that sweet lingering scent-
The morning was fast approaching.
Desire was a bad cold
as I lusted over him carefully.
Sin had become the greatest of depths,
as I wedeged myself against its movement.
Daybreak laughed at me.
Laughed silently...
Still, the shadow arose-
its heart beating wildly inside me.
One continent with too many mountains
washed over me.
With outstretched arms,
I felt the warmth fiterating through,
as if unaware of my sorrow.
For years I had hide under its very blanket
and now I was smoothering in my truth.
Afraid that scent trailing off,
would leave without my consent.
As if-
that ocean held all my regrets
and sank deeper with each month that pass.
Was I unable to swim alone?
Unable to move without the past...

very very nice, interesting images that you conjure,  the whole continent wiht too many mountains washing over thing was great, i really enjoyed that, i also enjoyed the introspection and the steamy side of this piece
