Winter's Blossoms

It felt like kismet

The first time our lips met

Electric currents

Like lightning igniting velvet

Souls touch through the poetry of silent hands

Fingertip sonnets along my arms and back

Whispering reverent volumes upon sacred lands

Celestial bodies fluent in atlas clouds

No strangers to the storm

Still addicted to the sounds

Of flow

Of warmth giving glow

Salted earth thawing beneath layers of snow

You taste of springtime

And happiness I've never known

Flowers unfold to the moisture of our breath

Blossoms begin to undress

'Til nectar tongue and quaking stem

Are all that's left

Escape from winter's bite

Into a collection of stolen summer nights

How heat rises like the gleam of distant desert lights

Bodies glistening in unknown constellations

Stars aligned in hearts like ours unmoved

Prove that even the hands of fate can discover new sensations
