penetrative paradoxes

relinquished in the rapture diluted by desire

resentment rolls off the tongue with familiar dexterity

affectionate affliction romance in purgatory love, addiction, is masochism

penetrative paradoxes grip my hips kneeling on your knees while water falls around us and soaks the tub the way i soaked the sheets with your face buried in me you beg; “your body”

is passion always this inauspicious?

worship me

until you suck your teeth at the thought of us plagued by antipathy, unveiled

penetrative paradoxes like assumptions and accusations bound with conviction like leather restraints around my wrists

and when this collapses just promise we’ll fall freely like the way we did in love and in bed

and when words ignite your lips like you’re breathing fire just promise it’ll burn as hot as your kiss on my neck

penetrative paradoxes dismantling distinctions between love and lust like pushing my hair behind my ear before you seize my skull
