The Passion (In four parts)

I – Surprise

There’s a familiar nervousness sweeping between

our parallel bodies so close in whirlwinds of

exhilaration beneath new truths and self evident

revelations dripping from my thirsty lips hungering

for the oasis of yours to submerge and sink deeper

into this moment and drown in your arms.

II – Unnatural

Seduce me.

Your habits I despise:

The life you lead and

popularity of wasted youth

disgusts me.

But your eyes undress me

and the thought

of your tongue on my body

warms me.

Unexpected attraction

of worthy adversaries

breaks down years of dogma

to allow carnal desires

to erupt and flow.

And I swoon in the fever of our deviance.

I lure you closer as hell freezes over

and our fury melts icy judgments

while our two bodies

become one contradiction.

We both want this

forbidden

unnatural

union.

III – Disappointment

A carcass festers tonight

beneath a full moon.

The biggest one in centuries.

Lifeless limbs lay still

blue eyes rolled back

a once beautiful chest

ripped apart rib cage broken

no breathing but a heart

beating in frigid air.

Solitary senselessness

to have expectations

in a senseless world.

IV – Beauty

There’s a soft lullaby soothing

this discord. We lay entwined

becoming one while

the darkness protects us.

Tonight is ours to keep

and hold each other without fear.


You softly apologize and graze

my lips once again with whispers

of revelation.

I abandon my logic to your touch

as we both know the truth

of this moment when your body

finds symmetry with mine

to harmonize in this duet

of beauty.
