SATURN’S RETURN
yeah, thunderstorm orgasms are cool
but have you tried honey raindrops?
I mean the silk-gold type
the ones that hug and hold your skin
soft with saltwater and kinship
they synchronize our laughter and delight
there’s nothing carnal here –
no sneak-peak glances, no undercurrent conversations
we traded those in for warm puddles on our feet
for comfortable eye contact
the type that holds no expectations
the type that sees you as you are, right then
the type of eye contact where one heart says to another
“I see you, I love you, you’re safe”
so…. yeah.
salaciousness certainly has a place
and lewdness is cool,
but friendship is better.
one-hundred times over,
I’d trade all the lovers in the world
for these magical friends of mine.
