Raw Elements
(Vulcan Erotic Poetry)
That ancient voice
stirring from deep within
the suppressed animal
the faint memory of
who we once were:
beasts, no less,
tamed by pure will
and rational demand
But now the reins
are out of hand, instinct
takes over this animal body
with its animal needs
and furiously drives me on
my heart throbs wildly
with that ancient desire
for your carnal nearness
I move within a red haze
that is obscuring the view
but you I see so clearly
waiting there alone
you call me to you, with
that curl around your mouth
I stagger and subside
into that ancient cave
Where the fires burn hot
and the crude elements
return to their bare essences
I sweat and on the beat
of the drum that is my heart
I lose myself completely
The animal set free, sublimated,
once more to his Vulcan dignity.
