Poem- IN/OUT

Poem 2 from my 3:00 am Erotica Series

you lie down like a pilgrim
as I cup your head
and pull you in.

your lips
harvest heaven,
excavating blood rubies
from my skin.

i worship
leathery, petal-like texture,
tipped with primrose pink.

in your eyes,
i unbearably sink.

IN.
darkness escalates,
and i enter the void.

OUT.
your scintillating soul is mine.

IN.
i touch the root of the shrine.

OUT.
i remember the first time
you undressed me
in the winter of january.

IN.
i tremble
and betray gravity.

OUT.
a breath of relief.
the sound of the sea.

i live
      for what
                     you do
                                 to me.
