Words...

Words...
   swirling around
     like leaves, houses, cows
caught in a tornado...

Words...
   that when put together
     form almost thoughts,
near visions...

Words...
   lust, pent-up passion, heat
     sweat, lips eagerly drinking
of each other...
   hands roughly traversing the
     planes of bodies coming together
in a bruising, hip-snapping motion
   almost angry in their need to
     defy the limits set by reality...

Words...
   heavy breathing, heart beats racing...
     minds emptied of the carnal 
visions that drove now sated bodies
   to such animalistic actions...

Words...
   whispered softly to
     souls curled around each other...
love outlasting the cravings of the flesh...

Words...no more
     ...and the rest is silence...
