Video Reading: Love Scenes for May to December

I've decided to start experimenting with video readings of my work so as to develop a presence on YouTube as well, (read: expand my evil empire). This is my first effort and, although there is certainly room for improvement, I'm rather proud of it and would love to get some feedback. 

Come on, you know you want to watch it. I even chose a love poem to start and, after all, who can resist the sultry, sultry voice?

Love Scenes for May to December

Aged, olive-skinned hand
over the pale pink fingers
of wounded youth’s retreating--
squeeze, hold and release
in time with the stilling pulse
and luxuriant long exhales
of decades lost 
and two bodies ravaged 
near empty and unrecognizable.

Aching from a posture of almost 
cowed and kneeling, one knee 
comes to complacent rest 
against another
ruddy with war wounds
and unfaded scars.

Thigh to thigh is pressed--
a flesh-blurred line.

By clandestine peace inebriated
lips needy of the human want
wine-touched go mumbling
the soul’s soothing fictions fulfilled. 

The heat kicks on--lulling 
white noise and dry warmth 
of memory to drown out a chill 
blowing the curtains 
and bringing in birdsong.
