Rite of Passage
I see your face
Shadowed, intense ; -
Eyes burning as you
Bear your weight on me, whisper
In the dark, voice husky.
" '
I feel your fingers travel
Sure, supple, giving
•Pleasure with the
Lightest pressure
Touch-deft
And soft.
I remember how my
Skin shivers, body trembles at
The passing of your breath
The grazing of your tongue
I am numb
With passion, want to
Recommence, impatient
For more sense.
I gaze towards the
Light that you transmit
Realise the recompense
You freely give, admit
That night was
A rite of passage
In my life
To help assuage
The past -
But it made me reel -
I would have you know
I am reeling still.
