Foraging The Damp Of Night

You bring the thunder
Colors flashed upon my soul
In rush, the winds falling strapless
Take my breath away

Darkness is its sensation
Tempting in finality of speech
Roaming silently the curve of lumen
Gripping me in the fullness of a chill

My breath makes sketch on the air
Seized in the shiver of a thirst
Guided only by the sound of fever
Mind pacing, tumbles in clover tide

Teeth bitten patience conjures seethe
You glow in the strike of midnight
Giving to the storm new vibration
Elemental sighs thrust fire as lightning

Melting glass but for the core of perfect oblivion
Thanking God for you in songs of happy tears
Blending form in unison the spent of stars
Unsure of hemisphere or longitude

Heart to heart entangled in spin
Making print upon damp grass...
Molding promise of insatiable yearn
Hunger’s burn deceives the very beat of reason

We explore together
Tender comb of starlight glisten
Seeking, giving in the cling of ecstasy
Wandering, beneath a blankets poetry

Anyone have a damp towel?  

Excellent K.  Such a blending of metaphors
and sensual images.  Well done!

I mine your poems looking for those "jewel lines" you do so well.

"In rush, the winds falling strapless
Take my breath away"

Beautiful TD.
