                                                            Uniting in undermined passion cubes, cocooned
                                                           Or connected by shared primacy, pleasure, pulse 
                                                          Surreptitious fictitious sensual senses, sensing
                                                         Sweetness as the first sign, seconded sexuality
                                                        Confined yet confused, obtuse and SO perfuse
                                                       You’re holding my aura oration in INHALES

Watchtowers wink at WE on cue, licking at
Lies, eying their squally symbolic eye of thy
Stormy cloud-squared sensuality as I sign 
My underscored line on ontological earth
Rhapsodic in reason yet rhythm trails...
Tribal canonizing, caress tender tresses
Obsession cupped in shapely sentience  
Heirloom hands interlace two fingers
Pointed, they circle ivory sand 

                                                          Sun signs of the tectonic times, my lips move yet
                                                         Language barriers befall fluent opsimath mouths
                                                        Bodies yearning, learning, body doubling duress
                                                       Sympathetic nervousness, skyline cistern bliss
                                                      Chancing three-struck flames of veridical love
                                                     Lust, libido, licentiousness, and lexical land

Landing atop philological texts of false nature
Flashing phenomena is my polysemy on heat
Warps of want, we wanted more more more 
EXHALE exoteric arching of lexeme action
Ultimatums intimated us, askew axioms
I tasked you with skin truths, so PURE
So principled, so overwrought.
