intimate intensity

form of a fighter

fierce and defiant

you live on the edge of the world

the centripetal force of your style

frees you from the freakish forces of

mass hysteria and lifts you above guilt

in my heart you reside clawing my soul

giving me who you are in centimeters 

all I want to do is be consumed totally

anointed by the chrism of your love

torn open by your intimate intensity

laid bare by the tender love of your core

i dream of your arms around me 

your fingertips on my neck feather soft

the warmth of our radiating bodies

your laugh and my smile like light

my kiss and your lips like velvet

this intensely intimate

dance never ends
