Shatter
My words dissolve
In your mouth
Like tongue tingling ice cubes
I kiss your back
My tongue shooting out
To leave a wet imprint between the outlines of my lips
I feel the shiver
Run along your spine
Through my blind fingers
Your head bends back
And mine moves forward
Like the two hands of an old clock
Lips united we rock
Into each other
A union of hungry flesh and burning skin
The wind sighs through the fluttering curtains
Sounds stand still in perfect silence
As we fall into each other
The diffused light bends between our
Entwined bodies
Rising and falling like waves on a rocky shore
Storms rage, volcanoes erupt
As wide-eyed
We stare straight into our pulsing souls
Fingers digging into soft flesh
We flow with time
Towards approaching eternity
It arrives
Flying on wings of exploding desire
And at that infinite instant
We shatter
Like stacked sheets of gilded glass
Into a cascade of million little tinkling splinters

:..M..: True, I agree, poetry is but a mirror of reality and something is always lost in that mirroring.

Stole my breath.
“Into a cascade of million little tinkling splinters” - practically tangible.
It’s been a very long time, I know. :) Please do drop a line.

Oh. But I’m sure the real thing is always better than the words we coin together. I liked this because you made a good and honest attempt at capturing what one might feel. I esp liked how you called them ‘blind fingers’ and the image of diffused light bending between the bodies.
However, you might be right. The poem appears to be somewhat abrupt - but then isn’t life like that too?
