Cosmic Couplings

D’versepoets challenges poets to write a poem with repetitions. This is my attempt.

Cosmic Couplings

 

Come kiss my warm lips
cup my breast in your rough hand
growl into my mouth
raise the color of pale desire
blow cinders into lust
create steel where there’s water
command with your need.

Answer mine with that of yours
Answer yours with that of mine.

Press hard into skin
flesh opens like a bud
legs twisting round legs
hands clenching fruit-like cheeks
raised upon your sword
spread flesh that yearns to gasp.

Answer mine with that of yours
Answer yours with that of mine.

Over us, the stars
glitter–laughing witness
I reach up and hang
on two and lift my breast
level with your mouth.
You suckle like a babe,
and strain into my womb.

Answering mine with that of yours
Answering yours with that of mine.
