Latent desires spill over the brim of our red solo cups Tonight we are but a satisfying feast, An antidote to our nameless craving Friendly eyes veer away from our indiscretions, the way we seem far too comfortable to be mere acquaintances You treat my body as a greenhouse, Stopping to marvel at all the roses I’m a museum and you’re the boy who scorns the “don’t touch” signs I’m the tipsy stumble to the spare room, you’re the fevered collision of our long lost bodies Neither of us are the knocking at the door I feel my body melting in your mouth A scoop of ice cream dripping down the cone, licked up in a desperate attempt to savor every last morsel Your hands treat me with such reverence The need to remind myself your embrace is just a lover’s far more complicated when your lips murmur “baby”, and this feels like lovemaking incarnate I don’t know what just fucking you feels like You’re a sprawling ocean, if I’m not drowning in it I have no desire for it

Duality
Brutal dualities riot within My impassioned sins not yet jilted, far too laborious to forsake what I can’t regret Remorse does not rejoice in carnal pleasures as I have Two incompatible facets of myself, brawling discreetly under the surface Bubbling over in subtle measures Lascivious impulse being buried deep, is it feasible for it to remain there?
