Sensual Instinct

I lay among
silken sheets
deep blood red in color
as I let my fingertips explore
the mysteries of my body
just barely skimming
the supple skin
in wonder
in awe of the experience of
touch
I give my hand free reign
as it caresses
my stomach my arms
the curvature of my hips
bronzed nails tracing
my lips my eyes
in a hypnotic state
of heat and primal
instinct
my blood on fire
my heart beating in time
to ancient drums of old
sensual chaos
screaming throughout my body
my nails clawing the bed
bright eyes wide
filled with the agony of desire
as a cry escapes my lips...
slowly I regain control
and let sleep overtake me
once again
lying naked in the dark
of the moonlight
