Among the Unfamiliar (For K.)



Among the Unfamiliar (For K.)
By: Jonathan Garren

Like the moon in the morning sky
We sit pinioned among the unfamiliar.
A love presupposed in wilder lands
Now lies festered and sore in tepid hands.
Still the desire lingers beneath the pulse,
Beneath the swell, beneath the neck so smooth;
The heavy warmth of lust woven in a kiss
Stemmed to blanche the chill of skin yet underhand.
With the hunger pains of passion frail,
I yearn only for love forbidden
And taste the secret sealed behind your smile.
Held in your arms against the light of a sallow sun,
Like the moon in the morning sky
We sit pinioned among the unfamiliar.
