Gratitude @Coppercicada
Sitting watching the sun plunge into a bed of crimson and orange
The wind lifting my auburn hair feels like the nuzzling of your thoughts
Teasing, lifting, probing
The crickets in the ragged yellow grass
Cry with hearts full and the mournful cry of the blackbird completes their song
You'll be coming back home soon
With the summer rains you'll come
To encircle me with your arms
Holding the fires of my passion in your bare hands
You tell me you are grateful
And I close my blue eyes
Grateful too
I imagine sighing, my head against your broad chest
I can feel the ground firm beneath my naked feet
I can feel the touch of joy and contentment
Like I feel the touch of the sinking sun playing with the contours of the earth and teasing out the stretching, meandering shadows
I have the wings to fly, I have the legs to walk or run
And yet, I'm seduced by you
I'll stay
Entwining my life with yours
Legs wrapped around yours
Sharing in the nurturing of your deep roots
Sheltering in your breadth and constancy
Hungrily leaning into you to taste the nectar of your warm heart
My tongue busy on your skin
I can see the laughter in your green eyes turning solemn
Your hands around my arse will hold me steady as you, yourself probe
I will give you every wild kiss and lay myself bare
Knowing that there are no keys in this kingdom
Only a heart and soul and body unfolding at your touch
So simple and yet it could only ever be you
Allowing me to grow outwards from this shared space
Till I feel like a goddess of earth and sky
Healing at the climax of each thrust
A coupling as certain and reassertive as life itself
The wind lifting my auburn hair feels like the nuzzling of your thoughts
Teasing, lifting, probing
The crickets in the ragged yellow grass
Cry with hearts full and the mournful cry of the blackbird completes their song
You'll be coming back home soon
With the summer rains you'll come
To encircle me with your arms
Holding the fires of my passion in your bare hands
You tell me you are grateful
And I close my blue eyes
Grateful too
I imagine sighing, my head against your broad chest

I can feel the touch of joy and contentment
Like I feel the touch of the sinking sun playing with the contours of the earth and teasing out the stretching, meandering shadows
