The word hits me
Invoking your presence
Animating your essence
Exulting in revelry
The word is gauntlet
You redefine it
Daring me to dream
Daring me to transcribe it
I write by a tumultuous river
Pregnant with potency
Teeming with the power of oceans
Dancing with feral remnants of a hurricane
You are a storm in my imagination
Omnipresent tattoos euphoric temptation
Chemistry both carnal and sacred
Angelic karmic manifestation
This leather kilt crafted to tantalize
Chains of silver inspire and mesmerize
Radical tantric vision actualized
An army of liberation gestates in your eyes
I practice my creative rituals
I write by the river with my left hand
This process spiritual and visceral
Searing insights challenging to understand
Our roots probe with passion
Gripping deep within the earth
You hold me just like this
Our spirits aligned in rebirth
You throw down your gauntlet
Daring us to join you in celebration
Avatar for erotic insurrection
Subaltern prince of collective emancipation
We dance with ferocity
Reverberating with luminosity
Throbbing with energy and intensity
Reimagining prophecy and destiny
