Here’s an erotic poem I just submitted to a poetry contest. I liked it and it took me a bit out of my comfort zone, so I thought I’d share it with y’all. Comments always appreciated!

You Take Me In Darkness

When the sun has tumbled below the mountains I let it fall
and slip into the shower under cover of darkness
Hot, wet,
Breathing steam,
Forgetting.
Forgetting what the day’s light looked like
Forgetting what tomorrow’s sun will look like.

You open the door, letting in a rush of cold
and you
reach my mouth with your mouth
my hands with your hand
my thighs with your thigh
hard, insistent, yes, always, yes.

You are nothing in the dark but hands and mouth and hardness
as you press into me and something inside me curls up,
up,
igniting a fire that smolders in warmth, in wetness,
the slow and shivering rise
until pure white flashes in front of my blind eyes
and my body arcs in an electric curve.
I am still and unmoving in the flash of the moment like a dancer under a strobe light caught in agony or ecstasy or both.

You are the dark and welcome invader, and I cannot see your mouth
but I know that you are smiling.
