Featured Poem - Wordance by Galatea

touching lips to ear
i revel in the vastness

of our closeness
his voice dripping
ambrosia aphrodisiac

filling my soul
drunk
on his speaking
i speak my own
wine
sparkling bright champagne seduction
boiling his blood luminous and golden
longing to drink him into me
taste his soul
lick the crimson life-blood
caressing his voice

rolling off his tongue
taste that tongue
that tongue spinning light and shadow

words words words swaying in time

each taking turns leading this exchange

of souls’ bodies

spinning dizzy
with want
sounds and shapes given meaning
by tongues thick thick with honeyed lyrics

to this crude primeval dance
my pulse
one

two
to his rhythm
one

two
we beat as one
two
spilling sugar star fire
sweet electric bright
hot white light
I swear we seduced each other
with words
