kabilang buhay

no stars congregate
in the sky
when we trip the night
the wind chills me
as i cuddle the clock;
i hear you whisper:
you are mine tonight.

you rape the hours
with your lullabies
as i moan helpless
against your love.

greedy are your hands
moving like a stealthy thief
grasping away my sanity
with every luscious contact.

your breath a silken sheet
venturing every sensation
caressing me like an infant
with each touch of raw gentleness.

i shiver in your stinking
sweat that bathes
my innocence,
camouflages my whole.

i resist every inch of thorn
thrusting me within
but your eyes blind to empathize
my weeping blood.

and you fill me
like a rich elixir
soothing away my melancholy,
relieving me of the longings.

though i cannot tolerate anymore
i whimper in ecstasy,
of the passion
that
are
your
eyes.
