Many Faces of Love

[takhen]

I hope you are enjoying the Many Faces of Love poem series.  Thank you for your comments.  You can see them all along with the Zodiac series on my Memories.

Ecstasy

Skin to skin we lay;
sweet steam of mingled sweat
rose from chest and thigh;
incense burned to the god
of love

Shadows, camel-shaped,
thrown at dim walls by
candle glow.

We lay, braided in tactile estasy,
our skins both barrier and bond.
Heaven is a bare-skin rug.
