Surprise your fright!
I dare you
to peel back your quivering cloak,
bare your hiding heart
cowering beneath culture’s callus —
pain bulbs planted under your skin-soil,
biding time to sprout in a tremor beyond hours.
It ends now.
Open your petals, my love.
Bathe in the star-shine scent on your skin.
Stretch out your eager arms
to that fiery shaft of dazzle —
Lovelight bursting into bloom!
Hunger gobbles unbridled, your cells stuff
with marshmallow cream, oozing and yummy
erotic sweetness outflows each pore & ecstasy
pulses bliss tickles though your heart.
At last, a gasp. Exhale. Silence.
Toss a clump of moist brown earth
over your dying shadows, my love, as they silence
in the stillness and joy of your own luminous Love.
