mark the time elapsing
by the changing colors of the light
still revealing your gaze
i savor the evidence of our desire
with my thumbs tracing
a path through sweat salt sheen
down your spine
coming to rest
in the dimples at its base
your mouth
sweet mint and lime
holds mine
a willing captive
the late breeze
around your silhouette
under the eaves
is a teasing offer of respite
i am pliant in the half dark
surrendering
naked
spent
push into my tender places
even my bruises accept your caress
