unleashed

rough and tumble, bed frame rumbles

across sheeted plains we stumble

beauty untamed ignites a flame

you’re screaming out his holy name

 

so roughly raked your thumbnail breaks

our furnace kiss could bake a cake

bed sheet abandons slotted sides

from our violence it now hides

 

upon the floor its fabric sore

from the waging of our war

that glistens skin, breaks the frame

the walls dissolve at our proclaim

 

collapsing casual and calm

but still i hold you in my arms

prepared to die amid the sigh

and recompense of satisfied

 

and in my lingering caress

i will whisper and confess

of how i only think of you

captivated and imbued

with dreams of just another kiss

the world could end amid such bliss
