Sonnet 69

Erotic Poetry

This welcome hollow settles quietly inside
My last coin echoes against stripped down walls,
Silent surrender I float in the tide
Heavenly press of your slow bed crawl.
Like a cloak, your navel settles my chest
Reclined beneath your drips from parted lips,
This hungry tongue tonight I do confess
To bathe in sin ‘twixt the curve of your hips.
Lover please, let’s take it deep underneath
Come swallow the salt of my broken bread,
Oh cup of wine stain the white of my teeth
Our absolution held with crimson thread.
Drink deep my beloved this flood of our birth
This final communion of heaven on earth.
