Temporarily Aligned

Temporarily aligned, a running bead of sweat our hearts beating faster Our faces flushed with blood look twenty years younger It's a pleasure you cannot temper into cold steel It's too searing and malleable to be brittle Oh, your arms are like cooling hot bitumen Darling, don't let me go I see a sunrise, newly glowing A mélange of pit snakes in the desert They're all lonely-twisting in the chill sand Hissing, take me home, take me home, slithering Like mercury, I need a women's warming, warming touch I see bed sheets moonlit descending to the floor And I see you holding me tight-forevermore Till my hair smoulders from gold to silver Till I no longer is given over to surrender But like an ear of wheat A head of corn I-too-am ready to fall. Temporarily aligned, love bursting in my eyes.
