Eyes of forest upon eyes of midnight
our souls become singular and flowing
like a soft and meandering current
filling one and then the other
and then the other again,
until we are each the same stream
Fingertips made of satin stroking skin
made of silk stretched over stone
my body feels heavy and hot,
desire stoked into fire when we speak
ciphers made of love and of dreams
sculpted around our longing.
Bottom lips escape into tight spaces
between teeth and tongues dart out
of their own accord to wet lips
yearning to taste the first kiss that
will bring with it the tide of satiety,
but first of taste and touch.
Sharply inhaling breaths forged solely
from adoration reserved for lust,
from a white hot need burning in my chest
clumsy, shaky fingers grip my own skin
while my tongue wets lips gone dry
at the sight of your wanting
The first long exhale, a sigh from your lips
that signals your climb towards the peak
has settled in and my fingers now belong
to the pitch of your stuttered breathing
and to the symphony of your wicked
and delicious suffering.
And when you come apart and I say your name,
I splinter into a million tiny stars
my soul soaring closer and closer
to my sun until they begin to shimmer
and float lazily back to my body
where they settle in new configurations
