African Savanna Poem by Robin Bennett

Meet my in my dreams, where sultriness lives-
Sun beats warmth, as do your lips on mine;
Is the blazing heat, from the sun or radiating from us?
Knee deep in the arid desert sand, wild animals prowl,
Oblivious to the danger, safe in a boiling embrace.

Summer's bake soars the mercury to dizzying heights-
Ice melts against skin, still aglow with desert steam;
Cold water offers no relief, a slow burn as one,
Africa's jungle humidity clings upon damp skin.

Refresh my heart... cool my soul-
let me graze slowly;
upon your moist lips with words,
heated sparks held within,
brushing up against your neck-
whispers of my love,
stoke the fire you burn inside me.
