Entwined



Entwined
we both smile
you bite
with a gentle edge
I entangle myself
and squeeze.
My smooth
serpentine limbs
glide over your
crocodilian bony plates
slowly
slowly
in
love's
death grip

  11. I like the rawness of your words. There's a natural passion, people too often forget in their drive to be mechanical.

  12. Oh, it started out so sweetly, and then ended in a death grip. Nature's way isn't always our way, is it? Well done.

  13. There ARE some couples I know who have this affect upon each other... they just can't decide to walk away, but remain, entwined in a death grip!
