Thor Kisses by Chris Sorrenti
lying above covers
in a humid embrace
rolling thunder
lightning
crashes down
outside
surrounds us
awakened
the press of lips
creates the charge
masculine / feminine
pistons
our cries of passion
rolling thunder
lightning
envelops us
drowns out
the storm
awakened
inside and out
Thor
stands guard
keeping darkness sleeping

Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 01/04/15 at 01:01 AM Passion can create quite a storm as you so enthusiastically convey. |
Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/04/15 at 03:15 PM Really a great interweaving of the storm outside and the passion inside. Thor as guard, great idea. Thanks, Chris! |
Posted by Alison McKenzie on 01/04/15 at 04:37 PM There is something that is so sensual about bringing Thor into the mix. |
