Passion

Passion rises, making fierce demands
For two bodies' wandering hands
Flaming lips that leave the unseen mark
A trail of red-hot wetness in the dark
Soft, warm, pliant, silky skin
Will open to let firmness in
Fingers touching the unknown
Evoking blindest passion's moan
Gently caressing the mysterious
A fever-pitch to cries delirious
Delicious, exquisite sweet sensations
Fulfillment, after wild gyrations
Explosive rush of pulsing fire
Culminating mutual desire
Finally, a heaving languid sigh
Entwined in sleep, the lovers lie.
