Amorous Incantations, by A.R.Salandy

One pours aromatic bitters
And questions this existence, fraught,
Ever fragile in its battle to continue,

But on as that torturous aroma lingers
Does dark liquor come to engulf
That timeless dance where incantations
Are uttered and intent is set

To enlarge that primal jaunt
Where beating hearts find momentary breath
As golden tongues descend,

And burn that rigid skin
With passionate caress,
But intensity draws incantations
Deeper in receptors

Of that hear the tremor of thrust
To a tempo robust, and fixated
On those darting marbles

Whose maroon gaze
Uncovers that fleshy facade
To find the source of such vigour,
Where amorous incantations manifest

Into the  carnality of blind lust,
A hook-up, or so it's called,
Distanciation I call it-

Dystopian.
