Written

Blood pounding drums upon ears ringing
breath quaking out of lungs searing
hands shaking and eyes straining, tearing
all rushing to meet a conclusion.

Candlelight flickering casting shadows on walls
burning skin glowing firelight hues while darkness falls
sweat pouring, beading, pooling, as climax calls
finally finding release.

Ink flowing, painting pictures with words
flowing out, melting together, blurred
feverish, spilling, unable to be deterred
panting as it comes.

Cotton candy skies and incandescent lies
Eyes wide in surprise and trembling thighs
reaching for the prize and finally breath slowly dies
down as it all finds form.

Chest heaving, now spent and relaxing
body numbed as dawn starts casting
rays upon the bed and all the lasting
images he has created

Upon her body still glistening, shining
with ink and sweat, he looks on sighing
admiring his work as she is lying
peacefully dreaming after a night fulfilled.
