Silk, by J. A.

Soft is the silk that caresses my touch  The fabric that separates me from you isn’t much  Slowly and softly as my fingers engage  I peel back the layer as I would turn a new page  My waiting jewel shivers as I explore every border  ‘Til your clothes are tossed in a pile in the corner  Your breathing softly grows deeper above me  It’s soft as silk, the way you love me As my fingers are tracing a path on your skin  Your eyes open to show me your passion within  This moment we both know’s been building so long  Alone in the night and our innocence gone  I remember the way that you kept yourself guarded  Always afraid you’ll be left broken hearted  So I wait at your gate til you let me inside  It’s soft as silk how our bodies collide The moon on your skin as you offer me all  To light how our silhouettes dance on the wall  Your fears melt away in the strength of my arms  The desire between us that’s keeping us warm  Motion by motion, caress by caress  Lips upon lips and chest upon chest  Watching you close as your body is tensing  It’s soft as silk how you feel here against me Fingertips digging, our bodies align  In this moment, you feel how our souls are entwined  I savor your heart pressed against me so tight  In this moment, you’re mine, even just for tonight  The sweat on your skin in the soft summer glow  The squeeze of my hand as you let yourself go  Your breathing softly grows deeper above me  It’s soft as silk, baby, the way that you love me Good morning

I Drown

I drown in glistening ashes
Vibrant and powerful
The ashes of regret
Drowning in depths of blue water
Would be just too calm
Too peaceful, too unfair
One could swim or float
In depths of wisdom
But I can't
So I drown in heavy mud
The cold, thick, relentless
That grips to my soul so tightly
Pinning me down forever
Dragging me through thorns of truth
Where my tears burn me
I drown in a malignant fire
In spirals of unforgiving fury
Welcoming and inviting
Where my broken spirit succumbs
And my pride is your accomplice
So here, I drown in you
My demon of ferocious influence
You've slit my present and my joy
You repeatedly killed me
But you say dying is easy
Not enough revenge
Not enough forgiveness
If a debt must then be paid
I render all I could have left
Today I drowned in hell
As I drowned in your embrace
