Eclipsed In Your Embrace



Eclipsed In Your Embrace

Drifting toward you like a midnight tide,
You pull me inside you
In the gravity of whispered waves
I sail across your sea
In the hush of your honeyed breath,
Here where love lingers
With the scent spray of unseen roses.

Your comet’s trail of sexy touching
Burns soft against me as starry skin,
The heat of your hearth
Humming between your thighs
As shadow and shine,
Drawing me with searing echoes
Into the sensual silence of your soul.

Nude we are celestial conspirators
Two flames flickering and shimmering
In the breath of the moon,
We collide like celestials unchained,
Scattering sparks in the dark
Celebrating consummation
From hot dusk till warmest dawn.

Our night swallows our longing whole,
Folding our bodies into velvet vastness,
We dissolve time in the curve of lips,
Love is an eclipse we cannot escape
We are meant for lovemaking
Milk and honey mesh together
Satiate each other in total satisfaction!

    Thank you, everyone for the compliments! How is everyone doing today? I must say that since my favorite poet is Pablo Neruda I make it a point to excel with metaphors!
