Challenge
Write a poem about something you have no control over and how that lack of control makes you feel.
Undying Sun
I drink from your fountains
from a place I can’t leave,
no control over rhythm
of our human needs.
Clustered to the earth,
your hips against mine,
senses once alone
immersed in us, entwined.
I taste intoxicating nectar
sitting in the dark of you,
stars curled around
naked feet, dancing
with your soul.
Wandering through
tangled veins feeling
the wind of my pith,
wafting scent of
bodies interlaced.
Sensual white butterflies
embrace our air,
twilight captures us
in scattered flight,
painted moonlight,
volcanic desire.
Intoxicating beats,
love without boundaries
encompassing our shores.
Shivering lust,
numbness of emotions
washes over, takes hold
tingling without touch
in undying sun.
