Never Like That

I have touched and felt
I have yearned and wanted and needed
I have experienced the many pleasures
of the flesh

but never like that

Hours going by
As pleasure rises and falls
the ebb and flow
torrid then calm
you withhold your ecstasy
Waves crashing anew
Always yet another wave to wash over me
Wash over you
And still you wait

That look
A look I've never seen
A look I've never known
A look I'll never forget
I've been looked at and looked through and looked
up and down

but never like that

The perfect white street light
filtering through closed blinds
highlighting
every beautiful curve and shadow
the intensity of desire in your
chiseled face
Drum and bass pumping
pumping
pumping in the background
An invisible DJ seemingly syncing
with our breath
with our pulse
with our rocking
and our rolling
Ambiance I have experienced before

but never like that

I am consumed and reborn
in the flames of passion
in the embrace of a stranger
and in the confidence of self
a dizzying concoction
intoxicating
Sweetly poisonous like
absinthe on the tongue
Many pleasures have I known
Many lovers have I experienced
For hours, days, months or years

Never.
Like.
That.

New Ink!

I am totally woozy after another 4-hour tattoo sitting but thought I'd share the pictures. Funny how clenching in pain for 4 hours makes you feel like you've just run a marathon or something... I am totally BEAT! Anyway, my fire and water have combined and after 8 hours under the needle, my outline is complete. Color and shading start on Dec 1. Can't wait!

My artist free-handed the art onto my back with sharpies...


OUCH.
