tiny droplets of light
moving in measure with the drum
unnoticeable yet striving to become
rousing the forsaken utterance
of the somber and downhearted

coloring every inch with sanguine dust
shedding the blooming indigo that blues
removing pain with a sweet embrace
the limbs that falter regain its radiance
with every movement and pause of our lips

swaying in the heat of the moment
as odd timed beats metered
every rise and fall of your hips
we lay staring at each other naked
caressing the aftermath in our heads
