Love Poem: Centipede

Centipede

When you touch me
I circle like a centipede 
following to the rhythm of its coiling body
as you fondle hunger with your eyes
and I
feed you  with my soft cries

the moon washed in the sky’s water
draped in the sun’s golden threads of ray
mind influence hands
to take care of an entire
body
with lust flooding in

marrying the hands of time
to painted white pillow covers

struggle

and
I breathe in 
a fresh air of you
warm to the heart
and such memories old
still 
survive in the soul
cold.
