been up for 38 hours and it don't look like sleep's coming soon

i dreamt of my lips on your inner thigh
and awoke hungry for you
knowing you are the only sustenance i need
early morning woke to find me
suffocating upon your flesh
my mouth pressed to you unrelenting
my ritual communion
forever making you part of me.

moments later i could feel your breaths
ragged as mine have ever been
heaving me towards abandoned hope
etching your mark inside me once more
and i buried myself in you
surrendered in screams and exultations
my painful confessions and repentance
and i was yours once more.

none but you shall touch this temple
you have made of my body
like an eager god i await your prayers
rain blessings, cover you
and like a slave i will beseech you
in anxious cries and reticent touch
to have me always in your mercy
carry me always in your thoughts.

i watched you laugh almost inactive
remembered you clothed in boiling light
i clutched desperately to my silent morning
while still in slumber, we entwined
each blinking a new capitulation
to the fire lodged in your fingertips
every counted breath extracting you
from those places only you can go.

i dreamed desperately to keep silent
and prayed i could consistently conceal
the way my mind placed my mouth to yours
and your dulcet tones became whispers
hushed and longing and hopeful
i could feel your body move beneath mine
and how, as afternoon sun began to fade,
my hungry lips rested on your inner thigh.
