down to earth
/in house
yr silent smile is feeding
the tender screams
of my emerging ecstasy
i float above you &
eloquently flow
into the receptive wet
of yr patiently powerful
sensuality, the deep suck
of yr wide lips, yr
insistent nibble
of my hard male nipples
i am running for the border
but you are enfolding me into
the limitlessness of yr
wide open spaces
& when i can no longer steer
the controls of my soaring, i
collapse into the safety
net of yr laughing arms ready
to receive and caress my breathless
body, thrashing and heaving, urgent
as a dark fish flailing
outside the security of water
over my head
there is a roof
yet stars nonetheless
are exploding in my eyes,
yr irresistible gravity
has gripped all my strategic
satellites & enforced the
joyous disintegration of reentry
my burly, black & bearded face falls
slow floating to yr undulating earth
and effortlessly buries itself
into the welcoming nude
warmth of yr pulsing brown
breasts which invite me to pause,
to dream, to rest, reflect
within the wonderful
world of women
man is an alien
constantly seeking
to revisit the moment
of his birth
