Two Ships in the Night
Lust
she glows
rays of thirst
he needed her
licked her skin nectar
touched with teasing fingers
opened to his inflamed needs
plunged manhood into her hot core
ignited passion flames never known
heat of rising crescendo bursting forth
and in still of the night when he’s alone
he’ll think of her when want beckons heat
passing opposite in life stream
they’re but two ships in the night
she murmured there’s no need
when he asked her name
sated frenzy
wet bodies
entwined -
spent.
