Enshrouded



Once again the nearby lake is clouded

Full of an unsavory mist enshrouded

It's eerie in its magnificence touted

Gaseous vapors hang above unrouted  



The wonder of it fills with awe grouted

With mudbricks shored to stones mounted

In island settings where boats are shunted

From shore to shore as transport hunted



Hearts which bespeak of longing amounted

Complete transcripts of chanted chats sounded

Musical passages of songs heard speak abounded

As our tired bodies repeat the wonder astounded



And beauty which is ours runs torridly ungrounded

As clean sheets become once again soaked founded

In juices of our love saturated through unbounded

And love holds no bars for our shared song rounded



- Out a passion which flames candle wicks untended

As the heat from our loins ignites wax unblended

With perfumes which scent our air unattended

As the fire creates embers as a blaze extended

  

Becomes part of our overall picture unended

As touches so sweet make bodies tingle bended

And the love you are rekindles the love amended

As fire sears through loins when you reach upended



For my passion to hold and to suck me in to be tended

As I open up your flower petals to tongue tip extended

Your juices flow over me filling nose and eyes blinded

And I suck it all down inside of me as my heart's binded



To you in a way which leaves no doubt as to what's minded

For your body and soul have merged with your heart kinded

By explosions which have been fused by dynamite grinded

Into smaller doses which keep popping under us unwinded



As the lake's mist seeps through my mind's windows unhindered

And the love you have for me pours over me in falls unrescinded

My heart vibrates to a 5/4 rhythm as my body trembles unlimited

The wash drowns beyond saturation as we become more uninhibited 



And the real mist in my eyes clouds over my soul once so crowded

As the glow brightens the lights in my pupils as sparks have astounded

Both of us with raging fires lit from deep below the earth which founded

The mist over the lake from which seeps those same vapors enshrouded
