bare face down panting before the first graze of the soft felt so soft hiding the harsh sting and throb caused by its many strands in this moment the ecstasy takes me and my mind flies over the homes around us to the soaring heavens where you sit resplendent on a throne of bodies lay at your feet those who give of themselves to serve and honor the magic that lies in those soft harsh strands they leave my heated skin and i brace for that first hard impact i hold my breath......for you
