Making Love With Eternity

Making Love With Eternity   

The stainless steel sings to me

a persistent lover’s haunting melody

aching to caress my peach pale arms

and kiss my blue veins

Cold against my wrist

but warm in my pulse

licking my flesh

and shining an embrace to me

calling my name in a slicing whisper

I am afraid

for I have never considered opening myself up this way

But the seduction is beyond inviting

enticing

and I can feel the blood of me run

garnets and rubies and roses

showering down on me

from me

Imagining

first the pain

as with all unions

then enfoldment

and the releasing of my “strong personality”

the total and utter relaxation of me

And as consummation is completing

my tired eyes will close

my cupid bow lips kissed red will smile

I will sleep in my lover’s embrace at last
