surge
by Peter Humphreysit had
been many
years acoming
this growing
surge within
that starts
deep down
at the base
of the spine
and spreads
outwards and
deepwards with
each caress
and as it
overwhelms
your mind and
leaves your body
spent in rivulets
of sweat
you wonder
o
you wonder
why the ones
before had
not touched
in that way
and as the
wave subsides
and you
open wide
your eyes
you know
o yes
you know
you
know 01/28/2007
