Lust & Love Bomb (reciprocated) | A Poem

I whisper to you in unrhymed verse I call poetry 

Our clothes fall to the floor like the first layer of an onion peeled and discarded

My mouth moves and I know it's nothing more than regaled obsessive thoughts of a depressed mind.

Arbitrary whispers of sweet nothings fawning themselves over your ears. 

I said I was lonely and you said you didn't want to be alone. 

My fingertips trace the curvature of your body

The heat swelling within us as it disperses between our touching skin

And you hold my love in your hands saying: 

“Let me taste what you feel”

Borers worm their way inside my soul and my bones feel weak.

We let reckless desire consume us and we fall into the dunes of each other's hearts 

You find water in the wasteland and drink deeply at the source 

And I just use you to set sail on that expanding sea.

Rushing waters tearing through the dams if our fragile existence

Bursting open like the darkened void of an expanding universe.

Tell me you love me and I'll convince myself of the same to you

Windows fog, bodies mist lightly with sweat, undulating there in the quiet dark 

My breathless moans wrap their hands around yours 

Passion takes hold of my being and as your eyes lock with mine 

I feel the words escape from my lips like a writhing compulsion and I hear myself say:

“I love you too.”
