Collision Imminent

Tonight, I see you
clearly,
in spite of the crescent moon
your hand pressed firmly
to the small of my back
leading me away
from this place
thumb tracing my jawline
seconds before your hands are in my hair
face upturned
lips finally meeting mine
parting for a moment
stunned,
finding
I am transfixed
to your eyes.
mouth opens
as your tongue
seeks to etch memory
in every pore of
my body-
vulnerable, open
eyes full of oceans
and you a wave~
softly caressing my shores
ebb and flow
soft and slow,
we hold tightly
rocking gently
riding the night
daring stars
to burn as bright

no ghosts of past
walking through the mist
tonight
present, future
planets un-discovered
stars un-covered
unseen, neglected
by careless former
lovers
gazing into darkness
unable to see through cover of clouds
tonight, we two,
burning brighter
towards future generations
of love and light
music fills this empty space
transfixes us
keeps our pace
cellos fade
we're approaching the bridge
modulate, wait for me
coming, only a beat behind
acoustic guitar becomes amplified
driving
faster
raw
hardcore
my eyes never falter
only bore deeper
into center of being
you're locked in my sights now
hips rocking
finding rhythm mesmerizing
hypnotizing
nails find flesh
mouth covers body
smothering screams
and words no one would expect to hear
coming from my mouth
no longer in control
crying out
'fuck me'
'nail me to the ground'
river rocks
heated by fire
strategically placed
on thighs
encouraging torrent
of lava
as ice melts between
mountains
dripping
s l o w l y
due south
lava meets
salt of ocean
in frenzied anticipation
steam rises
and the moon howls
her approval
as stars explode
in waves of bliss.

















this, my love
is the epilogue
