when we make love

when we make love,
the eyes close,
my head rests
towards the east


i do not wish
to utter your name,
or i may,
but you shall never hear it.

I quiver.
I keep the silence of my lust
inside my thighs.

I am yours and you do
what you wish to do with
my body.

when we make love,
i submit everything to you.
you become my sun,
as i am the earth in my own orbit of darkness

give me the brightest day
you become my moon,
as i am the pond at peace on the marshes

give me the coolest sheen
of your nocturne
let me dissolve into space,
let me burst as a star.

crush me.

i am yours. you are the brightest light
a series of flashes
of lights, in my orgasm.
