Dance of Lovers
Michelle Prendergast

Overcome by the heat, a sense of burning flesh
Desire insatiable, constricting loss of breath

Crimson apples flushed, feather stroke of breasts
Blurring of the mind, intensifying caress

Withering within, parching of mouth
Decadent attention, quenching thirst in south

Stark, bare, and exposed without fear
Impassioning, provocative, moisture that sears

Throbbing, inexplicable, pounding in chest
Clenching with gratification, grappling with unrest

Arise again towards light, beaming in eyes
Fervor and fury, passage of thighs

Rise to the surface for a bit to drink
Liquid on lips, a reversal and wink

Surrender to a kiss, moist and sweet
Dance of two lovers, down and retreat

Stroking, pulling, massaging of skin
Love, pulsation, engorging again

Inexplicable fluster, both pleasure and pain
Quite the explosion, no need to refrain

Cooling, heavy breath, sighs of two lovers
Love rekindles again, when each recovers
