Skin flows in endless blankets,
pulses quickening with every
careful breath;
radiant air with hints of
sugarcane and cinnamon
with each succulent taste
our kisses create.
Waterfalls suppressed by the
sounds of our thundering hearts;
like graceful elephants stampeding
through wide open fields
or oceans roaring on shores of
distant beaches...
Passion in the silken embraces,
our bodies intertwined like woven
cloth with fine finesse:
True love in the core of fire
In a list

"Skin flows in endless blankets,"
Good beginning line...'endless' is a way to describe it...humans have a shitload of skin!! Hahaha.
"pulses quickening with every
careful breath;"
'quickening'=a gerund...very awkward. Change it maybe to 'quickens', which sounds snappier & isn't a gerund.
"radiant air with hints of
sugarcane and cinnamon"
NICE. 'radiant'...air can be so abstract.
"sugarcane & cinnamon"<--damn, tasty
"with each succulent taste
our kisses create."
'succulent' as in juicy...good diction there.
"Waterfalls suppressed by the
sounds of our thundering hearts;"
'suppressed'...great word choice. I think the 'our' is a little obvious--I mean, you don't need another one after the first stanza.
"like graceful elephants stampeding
through wide open fields
or oceans roaring on shores of
distant beaches..."
'stampeding' & 'roaring'...no more gerunds for you...Hahaha
'wide' & 'open'...choose one or use neither of them. I think it's a bit much.
Could be changed to something similar to (to get rid of the gerunds):
"like a stampede of graceful elephants"
"Passion in the silken embraces"
"in the" sounds a tad amateur...maybe 'within', which sounds a lot more ethereal & is only one word with the same syllable count as "in the".
"fine finesse"
Say that 5x fast, I dare you...
Hehe
Good luck
Tell me if you make edits.
