suffocate

they met wading in the shallows
beneath the evergreen
he breathed smoke and she
wanted to suffocate
by tomorrow they'll be
lost amongst the leaves

catch me alive
she spoke
hold me captive
chase, run
you'll loose

one foolish fragile touch
he tore every fibre

a screaming duet
hot, burning, explosive
inside her

he emerged triumphant, sweating
a thief of passion
she waited in the shallows
for someone else to
chase her.
