EVEN FLOW by Nicole Terry   THE ESSENCE POOLS BENEATH THE WINDOW THE GREY LIGHT FROM THE       MOON SHIMMERS ACROSS THE TOP, LOOKS            BLACK— LICK MY FINGERS                BECAUSE THE FLUID COVERS THEM       A SECOND SKIN                        WHITE-BLUE            DRIPS FROM MY LIPS              WET                      RUN MY TONGUE ACROSS      THEM TO TASTE LIFE             SWEET DESIRE A BODY SUPINE BENEATH THE WINDOW     AMIDST THE ESSENTIA—             LIKE A CERULEAN FOREST LIFE KNEELS BESIDE IT         RUNNING ITS SMOOTH, ANCIENT HANDS ACROSS    THE BODY’S SKIN, LEAVING               BRIGHT TRAILS OF HEAT BEHIND      ENERGY WEEPS PLASMA TEARS AND THE BODY DESCENDS            INTO THE KINETIC FOLDS OF BEING      DRIPPING     DRIPPING                         WHITE RAIN   THE MOON, PREGNANT WITH        COOL GREY LIGHT, KISSES THE WOODEN BOARDS,                 MAKING LOVE WITH      THE PRIMAL ESSENCE                                      A MOAN ECHOES THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND            BOUNCES OFF THE MOON.   SOMEWHERE LAUGHTER—              LOVE HAS HAD ITS FILL TONIGHT.             THE MOON BURSTS                     BATHING THE NIGHT IN PLEASURE.                         BLISS. . . © Copyright 2008 Nicole Terry ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [back to Sensual Poetry]  [other Poems]
