A Moonless Night

In the darkness of
A moonless night
The heat of our touch
Leads
Clutching fingers become
Principal senses
Probing mouths
Our arms wrapped as one
Pressing
And burning
Forehead to forehead
Sweat intermixing
Your tattoos tastes of salt
Searing thoughts
Burst and crackle
Embers of fire undiminished
By the rivulets of
Sweat
Steam and heat
Your fingers rake my back
My teeth on your neck
Lust and hope
Feelings of
Fear and love
Entertwined
In the darkness of
A moonless night
