catch my eye 

hold my stare

flickers of flirt  

fold between our laughter

darling won’t you 

open up the honeysuckle gates

and entangle your limbs

with mine 

trace the crevice 

in the small of my back

wind up layered raven locks 

throbbing follicles twinge

at your every nudge

we pulse and pry

tug and drag

scrape and strain

until our lips are numb 

wading in the dampness 

our proof of passion

beads of crystalline liquid 

polka dot your figure 

flames engulf the flicker

swallowing my pride 

diminishing the dawn 

of a budding romance

kiss me again

once more with feeling 

kiss me again 

slow your rhythm

try for me 

please 

loosen your jaw

thaw your frozen feelings

our lips can pray as hands do

hold me close 

and we can pretend 

that we’re still in love
