Prosopopeia

he hides in plain sight
a panther chameleon
who blends with nothing
and everything
the gentle grasp of opposing digits
betrays the bondage that allows
the scorpion to penetrate the stigma
venom drips from the stamen of the
butterfly pea
reluctantly pooling at the root
phosphorus for the fruit
her soul ripens

Someone who listens

for the subtle catch in your breath
as his tongue finds purchase
who feels the warmth of your flushed lips
against his own
someone who gives with complete vulnerability
focused energy to your ecstasy
harmonizing with the nervous shudder
that overwhelms your senses
someone who cries out as you cry out
in shared erotic rapture
who penetrates your being with everything
that he is and everything that you make him
someone who wants to know you
as only you know you
defines the elusive and completes
the narrative
someone who
hears
