The Well Within
a ripple across the water
a touch lightly caressing the skin
a spark ignited
within me
there is a well
deep,
vast,
ever flowing
within me
there is a fire
stoked by breath
flames licking upwards
pounding
at the walls of my chest
my heart
within me there is a passion
that can expand
exceeding
my wildest imaginations
a weft of chords
moaning
against the shuttle
of our desire
weaving together
effortlessly,
magnetically
into
his breath
his moans
his touch
tendrils of the loom
like the slack rope of the well’s pulley
fall
deeper
into
the
dark depths
unraveling
towards
wetness
