She gripped the sheets
because she knew she'd be afraid
to fall deeper into this abyss
that our love had created before us.
She was ripe with longing
and beauty;
Flushed as the heat rushed
to her cheeks
and painted her skin
a soft red.
She bit into her lip
because she'd rather bleed
than surrender
to the way that my lips traced
her fragile being.
Her hips were like oceans;
begging me to venture deeper,
slowly rising as the moonlight engulfed the horizon.
She was the sweet water
from a trickling stream
that swelled at the river's edge
before cascading through the sky
like the Victoria Falls.
She tasted of desire;
bruised but filled
with a richness
that devoured the hunger
in my starving soul.
