Celestial Kiss

By A Velvet Tongue

The moon sweat tonight...
liquid droplets of iced fire
quenching my torrid flesh
a sizzling sting of relief
to my dimpled lips

The sun shook its fist
Hidden beneath the cast of night
blazing brightly in another part of the world
jealous that it couldn't view
the torrents of true passion

Oceans parted for a moment to gasp
millions of forgotten creatures
holding their breath patiently..
whirlpools seducing their mermaids
a coiling dance of enchantment

The winds courted momentum,
a piercing howl of freedom
buckling the knees of rooted seed
demolishing all that was secured
to defy the speed limit of sanity

mother earth split wide
her razored maw to receive
The gift of sacrificial lust...
legions of venemous pleasures
riding the soiled backs of rooted vine

Time defied the smile of light
one single minute, grabbed its broken mask
a masquerade ball of exhalted endurance
each second, to seem either fleeting
or a precious keepsake....an infinite fossill

The forces of nature, melding to the perfect consistency

my breath caught .....quickened..
The moment you kissed my face..

I'm so glad that Marek commented on this tonight, otherwise I might never have found it. This is exquisite. So delicate and whispered but so powerful as well. Perfectly chosen words and rhythm. Amazingly done. *favs* -Glass

A former member wrote: Wow. This blew me away. Your words here are beautiful beyond belief. I wish I could go through and point out every piece I liked, but 256 is not enough. This is poetic art, beautiful.
