    Skin

    My skin crawled far and wide
    As long as Horizon’s reach,
    Under your wise fingers touch,
    Clouds against a loving endless sky.
    The sun of your piercing eyes
    Shot quick across the land of my body
    Drawing in my attention,
    A lonely sunflower in a
    Seemingly barren pasture;
    I was intently counting the tide down,
    Watching the hand of your light
    Slip gleaming, delicately,
    over the billowing clear blue waves
    Of my sandy tan thighs;
    My palms, tall and green,
    Fluttering their goodbyes in
    The reflection of your Light’s direction
    As you fell further and further
    Over the needy horizon beyond…
    Did your beseeching pleasure suffice,
    Or was it too much?
    Against a skin that is too old, too wise
    To put aside the destruction, alas,
    Smothering sheets of the past
    To yet once again understand the
    Intentions of a purely and hopefully
    Offered pillow of the present,
    To lay down My weary head upon,
    Until I awaken next to you in dawn,
    When the tides have once again begun
    To pull up the sun, and push down the moon,
    I whip the sheets away from us,
    We, in our particular universe.
