sometimes, inappropriate is the right measure,
sometimes there is a need to know...what if,

you are my singular, an aqueous sway, tempting
beneath fresh skin
I move, arranged by your mouth touching
soft exhilerating sighs


don't leave, linger, this memory
that lies sleeping in
my red earth

I should forget, but I can't
not yet, I need the scent
of fingerprints, the sensation providing
comfort in a night
when the climate is
purifying, merciless

Are you love?
Are you a word ancient in abuses
torturing the flow of blood

Abuse, not with words or deeds
with a fervor
scraping the walls of the womb
you are smoky lips and clandestine images
dripping moist and rich
the texture of illicit

God this is great, to the core of the womb.
I love the imagery

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

FULL. The word edges my mind and barely stains it, but it seems the only description matching. Your images stray into dark, not with purpose, but because their diameter reaches out further than a single realm. You are not intimidated by the ordinary, and have used it to craft the spectacular. Be well.
