Young, inexperienced, eager for adventure
we explored each other’s bodies with words
amalgamated curiosity and intuition
left deft impressions on metaphysical planes
where we scanned each meter of our mutual
heartbeats, measured sighs and exaltations
like poetic feet noting reciprocated satisfaction.
Moans and sighs registered as a spontaneous
libretto of accented and unaccented syllables.
Tree of life symbolism’s replaced by heaving bosoms
replicating the undulating movement of an undertow—
passion punch’s physical tide—oxygen drawn
from Luna’s pull then exhaled via liturgical lungs
energized by corpus mundi sacred rites; youthful, vigorous
quite keen to learn, endless zeal placed exhausted flesh
at odds with “evermore” vows or binding commitments.
Impulsive not analytical, we seized select moments
and shook off novel escapades like skin-shedding snakes.
