Heat
The searing sun shimmers in the sky
Its celestial rays like liquid gold,
Hungrily lapping at ebony skin
As dark clouds threaten to bring both life and death.
In his world, he is the hunter
and I his pray.
His movements animalistic, he steals forward
Stalking me.
The packed earth scorches beneath my bare feet,
I stand deathly still
paralyzed by his gaze.
His captivating eyes seem to grin
As if peering into my very essence,
Searching for a weakness.
Slowly.
Slowly he creeps, circling me.
The corner of my mouth twitches into slight grin
As he pounces.
Enveloping me in a fiercely passionate embrace.
The heat of the day mingles with the heat of our bodies.
He has subdued me, his unwary victim.
Slowly again he leans back,
tucking a stray strand of coarse hair behind an ear.
Gazing into mine, his eyes are as two black pools
Hints of sunlight glinting off them,
Causing a feeling of sheer ecstasy in me
And I am entranced.
He prepares for his final attack.
Subduing me to the point where I am weak
If he were not holding me, I would have fallen to the ground
Crumbling like a mountain coroded by years of pain
Suffering, prejudice, discrimintaion, tears.
My own eyes have been filed with a new hope.
He grins another beautifull grin and
Rushing forward , quickly closing the space between us
Our lips collide.
We are tangled in a passionate kiss
Like a thousand sweet daggers it attacks my guarded emotions
Allowing them to fly free.
Our hearts beat as one, reigning in the twilight.
We are as oshun and xango
In tune with nature yet completely cut off from the known world.
Thunder cracks in the near distance.
We break
The first drops of sweet rain reach our shining faces.
And all seems calm. He has won.
I stand before him like a newborn.
finally tamed.
Conquered by the passion of a new world.
He has ignited a flame inside me. My passion.
Tamed by heat.
