Space Bound

I am gifted

to your darkness

pale in the star shadow galaxy

with comet speed

I fizzle

.

lightless stone,

you and your universe carry me

weightless

soundless

motionless

draped in your planetary arms

your Saturn rings

your angelic cosmic halo

Heaven’s ambassador

.

This War

these blistering meteors

these molten tears…

shall I ever feel anything

but heat?

.

how long will you hold me

your willing prisoner

slave to your needs

servant of desires

.

I hand myself over

shackled wrists

naked want

glistening anticipation

throbbing, pulsing

a beating heart

a tiny bead

the softest opening

my scent is confession

my blush is surrender

your hands and your lips

my welcome bondage
