Fusion
 
Bathe me in the sun 
that shines within your eyes
and let the heat of you
trickle down my face 
like almond blossom nectar 
kissed with morning dew
and dripped with honey

Wrap me in a cloak 
of tender kisses as we glide 
beneath a pool of liquid moonbeams
on the shore of an oasis 
made of dreams
planted in the shade of 
past Novembers.

Feel my heartbeat
dance Marenge 
beneath your fingers as you paint 
with subtle brushstrokes 
underneath the moon
that tugs the tides across my flesh
until I rise against your touch.

Slide a sigh across my skin
and watch it drip
in hues of tender blush
along my curves
until it sheds its seventh veil 
and lingers in the lust
of scented shadows.

And dive into the bed of stars
that floats within the center of my universe,
embracing brand new galaxies
that you make
when the nebulas explode
between the velvet
of lovers’ flesh.
