Unholy grail

Paiting, "The Kiss" by Pablo Picasso

The unholy grail

 

Into her aching arms his body burned,

Her fire-charming moves ignited wants -

his faithful wisdom in a flash unlearned.

Lust echoed slowly in poetic chants.

 

Explosive words ran out his thirsty lips

And kidnapped smiles she secretly withheld.

Strong hands took hold of those gyrating hips,

Delighting in the cards Cupid had dealt.

 

The taste of love ignites a wanting fuse -

A burning light expressed on flesh revealed.

Her aching depths become his joyous muse,

And into happy nothingness they yield.

 

Spent now, their wanton ecstasy makes way

For rancid regrets in their minds to stay.
