The Oroborus of Lust

Crawl to me on all fours, and fix me with those eyes.

Gleaming ivory in the pale darkness.

Suitored to alien mires, foreign environments of crawling dust and spires of simplistic grace.

 

That we move into.

 

That we move into as finger pads touch skin and lips and wet tongue tips that grace the very edge of taste itself.

 

The sonata of flesh has begun as we begin this symbiotic ballet that signifies the end, the start, but not the middle of our burning tryst.

which burns brightly in summer night heat, washing down the walls separating me from you and you from yourself.

 

Fix me with those eyes once more,

tilt the timer; make the moments slow

And the gas lit beam dance and grow

to our scaly sonata of flesh.

 

Played without violin

or cello

or trumpet noise

or flute.

But with arms,

and lips

and hair

and bust

and drums.

 

There are always drums; beating on through the night,

beating their primal rhythm as you crawl towards me,

on all fours, in that oroborus of lust;

symbiotic with itself,

reflecting off itself;

encased in itself.

 

Crawl to me on all fours

Crawl to me -

And taste of my being.
