The candles mute the light

The candles mute the light

 

And warm your room like golden liquid honey.

 

The shadows creep around your face.

 

I cannot see you smiling.

 

I pull you close.

 

You chew my tongue and lips like candy.

 

I close my eyes and see you clearly

 

Your open heart before me beating.

 

Your body soft and melting

 

Then heaving like the sea.

 

Your legs entwine and pull me down

 

Like mermaid arms into your depths,

 

Not cold but warm as home

 

To me now calling.

 

I am the vessel pouring out

 

Into the bowl that is your hips

 

That take me further in

 

And pull my insides out

 

And gushing,

 

The spouting of my love

 

Into the ocean, the immense ocean of your living.

 

I am a boat that is floating

 

On the surface of your body.

 

Rocked by the mother of all life

 

And your dark enticing.

 

Oh take me in, mysterious being.
