ROMANCE Poem: Sacred, by Laura McDermott Matheric

I imagine our bodies entwine
like vines seeking sun, our passions intertwine

fingertips trace constellations on fevered skin
in this celestial dance, two bodies align

whispered sighs float on heated breath
pulsing, a rhythm divine

sheets caress as we explore each other’s terrain
in your arms, I’m intoxicated by this fine wine

hands explore curves and planes with reverence,
a trail of pleasure’s design

in this sacred space, we lose ourselves completely
becoming one, crossing every boundary line

this dream, our sacred poem, speaks of love’s sensual delight
where passion and tenderness seamlessly combine.
