Lovers

Lovers

Smooth lips concupiscent curves
Nestled within an inner body
Musky tingle of electric nerves
As forked fingers shear scalps

Snaking lime-like legs tangle
Gordian Knot not knotted now
The serpent's tongue searches
Finding protruding pink buttons

A glass-shattered laugh ripples
Tense tendons tightly touching
It's now. It's now, It's now!
And oh, how slowly it unwinds
