Tired body and harsh light
Slowly opening are my eyes
Space is free, no longer tight
And so sluggish to rise
Mind ponders then movement stirs
And scream echoes tiled walls
Door opens with that laugh of hers
A kiss given before verbal recalls
Recall of prey; recall of lure
Of door closing and lone kiss
Of question and the reassure
Of each swallow and of bliss
Movement fine with hands
Causing stiffest stones to flow
Stomach shifts and expands
Stomach shifts and goes low

Darkness was the world's veil
Yet air still moved in place ever tight
Feeling every one of steps in detail
Still mind repeating, “It's alright”
Hearing muffled; hearing door close
A step, a step, then she laid
Underneath - given stillness's dose
Still feeling movement until mind did fade
Awareness coming and awareness going
Space ever less with addition of another
First was feet yet not done swallowing
Again fade. Awaken to second prey smother
Holding on to hope. Holding on tight
Ano

Rolling waves meeting cloudless skies
Shoes off and sand between toes
She came to me with her ocean eyes
Twilight dyed hair that almost glows
A question asked before sand shifted
On border of the sea and the land
Words exchanged as time drifted
Watching as night did expand
Hands reached around, pulling me close
Her lips meet my cheek. My heart in awe
Closed eyes, racing mind, body froze
Then she stretched her jaw
Her warmth engulfing the chill of night
Lifting me up with a gentle touch
Deeper I
