Beneath a Stone
(To my beloved, Ally)


Subtly sensual blacks and grays swirl
serpent-like behind my eyelids where
I hide hours beneath a stone-mysteries of darkness.
When the sun sets my eyes snap open;
these moments I liveinside you.
Images of energy surround you,
;where my flesh walks
I curl around the tangled folds
of indistinctly drifting thoughts,
caught in the merciless currents of
incessantly surging obsession with passion.
I long to run down
the curve that arches heart to thighs
and catch in the hollow below
echoes of my blood
pounding for you as
words blow through me, inspire
your hands.I must explore
your luminous landscape
flooded in tremors of stormy fire
our celestial efforts make;
and when the last restraints snap,
we reap pleasure's dance,
convulsively grasp lucid ecstasy
I'm compelled to keep us there,
accumulated effulgence filling us-
And when we soar for hours
I'll hide mysteries of darkness
beneath a stone.
