I Made Love With Clothes On

By Mylissa

I always made love to him with clothes on.
safety intertwined in the fabric of heat.
a forecast unknown—would it rain
{or} would it snow.

“our” dreams left exposed.

And he began to dip my heart in fondue.
eating away my defenses like
Hannibal Lector- receding only
to chew.

Tasting pain wrapped in the static of beats.
seconds. moments. he plunged so deep.
as I thirst for his words to
tongue tie my wrists.

And his lips to lacerate edges that twist-
forming sexu-ality. taming
spiritu-ality. until I ached
to pray {only to him}.
