Where serenity resides

Original Submission by Vanessa Mirembe Nabukenya

WHERE SERENITY RESIDES

He tells me to hold his eyes with mine

I comply for I’ve long been entranced

Each syllable falls as an unbreakable decree

His voice, my truest guide

My body contorts in rhythms I never imagined possible

My heart sends tremors to places newly alive

Pleasure rises in slow tides through every willing limb

A shiver ascends my spine like whispered lightning

My mind remains pristine as everything below dissolves into beautiful disorder

Ragged breaths tear through me as I lose myself in his cadence

I didn’t know a myriad of feelings could awaken in me all at once

Every touch calculated,my self control dissipated

Beholding his form, my entire being is elated

The very thought his power sets my loins aflame

Joy trickles down my thighs

Fellatio might just be my new favourite high

Second only to the reverence with which he consumes me

Every stroke, every flick utterly blows my mind

We never notice the hours passing by

I dread the moment I must say goodbye

With every departure, I leave a piece of me behind

When he bids me adieu and I walk alone home-bound

I can’t help but wonder if home is the one I’ve left behind

I thought home was a place, how wrong I was!

Home is the serenity I find in his arms
