Another Sunrise Together

 

Both of us collapsed breathlessly

after once again transcending time

and overcoming physical limitations

like exhaustion and dehydration

as we had trans formatively achieved

at other times and in other places

like the mystics and holy men

journeying in the astral plane

exploring the mysteries of love

by surrendering our bodies freely

to each other’s whims and fancies

and watched the brilliant tiaraed night sky

overflowing with white crystalline stars

and mellow golden moonlight blush

while making love in all its dimensions

and earth quakingly infinite possibilities

outlasting the night and welcoming

yet another rainbow sunrise together.

 

Sweet Seduction

 

Red nipples from nibbling

biting and pinching

like red-hot candies

on your steep Himalayan breasts

that no one but I can climb.

Kisses like wishes come true

drenching like waterfalls

flowing uphill and down

titillating arousals

that excite and forewarn.

Smooth tilled skin

absorbing caresses

like groundwater, a downpour.

Your legs like river beds

stretching to the sea

my love a gushing ocean

streaming between them

until finally cascading

into the moist sweet lips

between your rippling thighs.

 

Another Miraculous Morning

 

Last night I couldn’t sleep

and after tossing and turning

getting up, coming back to bed

without a word, you took matters

into your satin smooth hands

and undulating fingers

and like individual kisses

massaged my restless body

with a slathery lotion

as transparent as moonlight

on a full moon night

a cool delight, sparking

a very hot response

as my suddenly tingling flesh

came alive with goosebumps

feeling your lips moist as April dew

circling my rioting tower

as you loved to do

and did so expertly

so I could take over

and pleasure you, trembling

until the sun came up

on another miraculous morning.

 

JOHN DEANGELO

 

JOHN DEANGELO was born and raised in Greenwich Village. And if asked, he’ll tell you that he has always been an artist, both a poet and visual artist. John is a Vet who served in Vietnam. And whether out of fear of boredom or death, he first began writing and photographing seriously. After making it home more or less intact, he received a B.A. in English and subsequently pursued graduate study in Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, where his focus was poetry and was fortunate to study with the poet Nathaniel Tarn, who took him under his tutelage. He has been published in various magazines and journals, has a chapbook entitled Beginnings and Ends, and his books include Trump: American Carnage, and his most recent publication, My Other Wing, a celebration of Love in poetry and images and is currently busy prepping other works for publication. To satisfy his other passion, he took graduate Fine Arts courses, specializing in photography and digital mediums ( painting, collage, mixed media) and has exhibited in both Chelsea and SoHo.
