THAT RHYTHM SHE MAKES

in #poetry7 years ago



Like that rhythm she makes on his body, anodyne,
unknowingly steering her hands across his
skin,

a ship on a calm water,
making a tempest of the ocean,
like Ariel the fairy.

The storm is in
his soul.

Exhaling hard on his ears,
for a moment, tempestuous risings of troubles unsaid;
breathing hard

on his back;
helping fallen strands of his hair get up.

Oh but how intermittent they are;
how fleeting the sound of her breath;
how erratic the rhythm
she makes on him;

how disparate her touch!
