And still
only read this if you like really gay poetry

We have both seen the earth crack beneath our feet
And still
Found peace in our pieta
Took the jagged fragments of masterpieces past and
Made the pieces fit together
.
You revealed the secret keeper sleeping underneath
Unsheathed beleaguered creatures
Sought to see each other deeply
Complete heathens, claws and teeth
.
Feel each other’s heartbeat and keep our breathing like a bothered heat
Rose degrees when I tucked my head into your arm and you exhaled and said
I’m just really glad you’re here with me
.
You
Let me see the amazing mazes within you
And then I prayed to lend you faith
That my embrace could shape the two of us into superhuman strength
Pull you into this new bulwark that we’ve together made
Sway through days bereft of pain that feel ordained by fate
.
fill each other with the feeling of
Real healing
Of your skin finding mine and
Kissing how we wish that is
Until the end of time
.
Til we slip into a rhythm
Catch the light into our prism
Dip our fingers in and feel the flesh
You’ve become my favorite friction
.
Caressed contour motions evoke
soulful coloratura
in every measure
mouths savoring the marrow
We flow like notes in a Romantic concerto
Fly off the page in passionate rage
But play the parts so perfect
that this stage we’re on feels safe
.
Saturate me in ways heretofore unmatched
Blended gender fucking drag
Need you to wrap me in an avalanche of super sapphic wrath
Unhatched only to collapse
into gratified passion
grown attached to this pasture of happiness
.
Electric connectivity elect to pick you for infinity
Let you and me and the love between complete our holy trinity
Let us finish gripping hips and kissing lips and call out for divinity
.
Busy with all that’s been forbidden finally
Liberated linked laced up lingering libidos
Brew a storm fury physical like torpedos
Hips with hysteric histories hidden incognito
Licked and bitten up and touching toes
Pacific winds whip the waves, Venus tasting her own sea foam,
.
I lust for that look of hunger in your eyes
The one that
Leaves me undone,
Supple supplications undusting feral frustrations
Enmeshed what was mutually sheltered in the breast
Celebrations of the flesh swept to festivities and unsaid destinations
.
Escaped everything we ever dreaded with
Legs threaded blended in desperate sweat
Drenched in sun and roots and petals
Made melodies that resonate through the room like records freshly pressed
Erect a palace where we’re both protected
Brought me to my knees and pleased you with dedications and confessions
.
Observe these curves, divine the lines, my focused fortune teller
Know which golden honeycomb to steam and then to gently enter
Tongue to taste the sweetest nectar
Tender pulse of pressures decadent and wetter
Plans of placid harmony and manic swells of pleasure
I want the bed we nest on to last into forever
