Luscious Time
I love the touch of your silk hair: it wraps
softly around these fine gentle fingers.
I twist until you scream in extreme pain,
laugh like a buttercup in dying throes.
I watch you smile with wonder; tenderness
soaking the sleep in soft eyes of cool blue.
I kick out at your hard shock while you're down,
scream your name to the broken wicked world.
I touch your warm flushed cheeks with a wild kiss
which perfects lips for all of luscious time.
I bite into your skin with pure malice,
chew on the fleshy petals now made mine.
