slow burn

passioned souls catching fire

Damien: Regular

Transcending moments, your absence felt,

a vacancy behind caged ribs held out for hope

my love would return to me, I yearned for you

even while you weren’t here, reality renewed

when your return became known, my heart flew,

our soul’s knew time was just a small detail,

you felt me as I felt you, so close on the page,

we embrace, finally, as planets align, stars shine,

it’s time for our souls to entwine, together now,

together then, for all time, you are mine.

..

A moments bliss, turned into delight,

the new encounter yearning for more.

Seasoned soul feeling like an empath,

made for each other like true soulmates.

In the era where the stars have aligned,

finding the senses within each other.

Visible memories carried with us through,

nothing can separate us like ever before.

Entanglement articulated by the spirit,

emotions in disguise you can now see.

Wanting to hold you and look at you,

gorgeous, soulful eyes to gaze upon.

…

Each glimpse feels intimately spent,

visions of two, me and you, soul to soul

meandering realms, reacquainted,

harboring the same longing from past lives.

Each step in our romanced dance strikes

against any fear of the alone we once felt.

The serpent of solitude is crushed by heel,

I toe the lines of time and space for you.

In this physical form, this body I inhabit,

I give to our meaning, our design, our all.

Your energy is felt wholly and truly.

I knew then, there, and still now, my love,

you always knew me.

…

Taking time from the unknown to readjust,

our lives, mine and yours have no entangled ones more and feels right.

Given true circumstances of what life throws at you,

understandably joyous moments have arrived for the first few sublime memories.

Scenes playing and dancing in our head,

Of you and I, knowing that this friendship will last.

Separating what hatred and love can be,

feeling right at home with your presence.

Gratitude is what we share,

Our energies form a bond like none ever before.

…

A collision occurs, stirred as the fusion

of two minds, hearts and souls comes to fruition.

A friendship that will stand against any demand.

A chain whose links cannot be broken.

Though the conditions may exist,

this interlinking will never rust nor corrode.

I choose to pursue you, wholly, to hold

your hand through what may may attempt to deter.

You are an angel and your halo is intact.

I am the devil, the rebel who revels

in pursuit of what is not promised nor known.

My devil horns sound a delicate echo,

a sonar of sorts searching for you in our depths.

…

Our time apart doesn’t define who we are when we are together.

Never wanting to lose you in the friendship that we have with each other’s wellbeing in mind.

Bound by the plutonic love we share.

Weathered with desperation, but rhyming thoughts never seem to fault.

I will accept your hand and be given the opportunity and delicate desire that we encounter.

Learning how to be at peace with contentment is something I want to share with you.

Rebuking the pain and suffering from what others have caused.

You lifted me up in my lowest of sorrows.

I respond to those sounds of intimacy and can be found in the warm depths of our embrace.

…

…

Friendly fire in the sense we burn for one another,

stronger than the yearn and urge between lovers.

Our rudder aimed at each other in the wake of us,

the sun shines down on reflecting off the waves we thrust.

We reign and trust in one another like no other does,

you are effective in your rise in the cool waters which rush

over our bodies washing away the pain of relationships.

You are the arms of friendship I long to embrace and shift

life toward understanding and having someone who cares.

I’ve lived in the mute, in the chute of constant despair.

I’m aware of your presence as your essence rains down,

like the sky is crying tears to wash our pains now,

the ground has my footing and my mind is taking root

in you, in me, in us, in the metamorphosis that bears fruit.

…

The sun lifts our spirits far from the ground,

the burning embers of our bodies and lust.

Arousal of being seen in me light of our eyes,

any chance we have to be in each others arms.

The warm skies blue gives us hope and eternity.

Embracing what the earth gives to us which is our freedom to choose you.

At any given moment I’ll want to jump into your arms,

the tender body that envelops my entirety gives me comfort and joy.

Whispered cries screaming into the shadows,

ethereal as it can be.

Our roots may be different but we see the same in our morales and values,

contentment in the flicker of longing for our soulmates.

…

We both wade and wander the teeter totter of our pondering,

I feel your extents against my extents and it brings me content.

All the past is spent and left in the dust at others expense.

Others who chose others. We rose from ashes under covers.

Nothing shall snuff out the flame we contain as the flicker’s insane.

I maintain my course toward you and your sensual course

toward me, for we are to be seen in our cosmic source as one force.

You come to me, bearing your skin, wearing our hymns

we confess our desires, surrender, no longer comparing our sins.

We begin our ascent as we invent what the divine can’t condemn,

no expectation or doctrine can dispel our reach which stems

from roots fruitful and fertile, from forgotten flesh, to being known,

I choose you, I hold you, skin to skin, hips to hips, in what we’ve grown.

…

Enjoying the company of the withered souls,

bringing forth the pleasurable sensations of your touch.

Sending my spine into a curvature of desirable beauty,

the darkness of your mind makes me smirk with intention.

A floral garden expresses who I am deeply,

the essence of my pulsating mind gives in to you.

Taking me further and deeper into your world,

feeling true comfort and true passion of both our hearts.

Winding trails down the forests of fury,

taking in every breathe of air.

Panting at those thoughts from down yonder,

spending my time grieving down yonder.

In lust and love the tingling has begun,

my thoughts of you have never stopped coming by.

…

I elevate you as you elevate me, take me and wake me,

making me believe daily around my waist taking

all I have to give is where you belong, I belong between

your thighs. My eyes wide and tantalized, I long to be

here for all time, my soul straddled and surrounded,

grounded in you the moment we found it, rounded

every possible corner and angle as one.

A geometry of two forming our own shape in the escape.

The curve in your spine traced by fingers which linger,

my touch traveling each line of your skin, the bringer

of lust and love and longing, strongly, I hold her curves

her nerves connect with mine, my mind ready to serve

the one whose existence insisted on intertwining me

the cosmos breath a sigh of relief in her finding me.

…

The magic that happens starts out soft and slow,

bringing a tremble to my knees with your fingertips.

Wondering how you’ll take me all—

from top to bottom, I can be all yours.

Lifting my legs around your waist,

you devour me in the most unadulterated way.

Longing for your presence and soul to be mine—

given at any moment you surprise me with pleasure.

Finding that heightened awareness and sexual tensions,

I tiptoe slowly to where you lay.

Finding myself crawling on top of you,

grabbing me and sitting me at the bottom of your torso.

I grip you with my fingers and find myself smirking—

your hard manhood pressing against my soft skin.

Supple and tender is what my body is,

you lick your lips looking at me fully.
