Heat-stroke (Free verse) by Skamper
clouds sway along her hollows
wriggling toes too warm to walk
the sun escapes
behind sunglasses -
she reads his shadow
exhaling words she swallowed
watching dreams
and listening to devilment
playing tunes of crimson laughter
A novel way to spend romance
she scratches her soul
waiting for the wind
to sweep another cloud across her skin
lip-serviced whispered words
fills the image in
she asks the sun -
why it feels the need
to warm her breast
yet allows the wind to
paint her nakedness with clouds
her fingers open flowers
patiently waiting
for reply
the sun stole his shadow
whispered him the answer
laid his wispy form across her chest
the clouds hide secrets
behind sunglasses
sweated words release her
shadowed lover
and still the devil smiles
