Palpable Poetic Persuasion

A Poem

Pain eased with his
tender fingers tending
to the delicate paper lining
of my pleasure, I open
seashell with oyster
held in center
taste the briny ocean
enjoy the tidal wave
of breath lapping
at the shore of
ecstasy, I taste you
and feel cashmere
on my tongue. Sanctified
flesh, holy communion
molasses thick
until we both
stick to the roof
of each other’s mouths.

Hold me until my heart
beats in synch with yours
gallops away
like a stampede
only you can quiet
my disposition
to palpable
poetic persuasion.
