Come close,
beneath your nearness
and the warmth of my skin,
until neither of us knows
where one begins.
Your mouth finds my neck,
then pauses there,
a whisper of heat
caught softly in air.
I feel your restraint
before I feel your hand,
the softest tension
I can barely withstand.
It is that tenderness
that loosens me,
softens the places
I only let you see.
My body answers
before words can arrive,
beneath thought,
something alive.
I reach for your fingers,
you draw me near,
and suddenly distance
has disappeared.
Silence grows warmer.
The night settles deep.
Two hearts find a rhythm
the daylight can’t keep.
And if I open,
let it happen slow,
like a door yielding softly
to someone I know.
Not because you entered,
but somewhere before,
you were already the reason
I left the door ajar.
ooo… this is good … very sensual and intense
