Definitely Pleasure

we stood on the beach

our faces to the west,

the sound of waves

crashed

as light caught our irid-

escent eyes,

mesmerizing us

under hidden stars

by cheap motel rooms,

saloon bars, drugstores.

we took in, the breadth

of it all,

breathed in the scents

of the seas

that crawled over sands,

held our vows to our

chests,

held hands,

enthralled,

still,

by the “yeah, i will, i will”,

no thought of taboo,

or society’s stares,

16 cycles of Sol separated

us,

but our thoughts, our bodies,

and desires

united us,

far closer than

internet log-ins. and    

i soaked in, i kissed in,

i licked in, i touched in,

i danced in,

more information,

than erring contemplation

inside a small plot

of individuality back home

could learn.

 

 

instant-marriage-syndrome

seduced us,

like the data

in her smile, and

the valour in my voice,

 

 

induced in us

the offline blueprint

 

 

of

i’m here for pleasure

ma’am

forever ma’am,

 

 

and not business
