We’re both blind, you know
we fumble around, reaching
my hand brushes your chest
yours grip my back
draw me into you
we gasp at our touch
the shocks and jolts
pressure builds
all I see is white hot light
searing the shadows of your face
a negative of checks, eyes and lips
burned, they hover before me
everywhere I look
slowing heart beats
and chilling sweat
cement us together
languid words roll
from tongue to ear
between deep breaths and
short giggles
with defiant proclamations
against the odds of time
and vagaries of the heart
we dream about what may be
build together a future place
castles of eternity
where death can not break us
our feelings entwine like the
vines of legs and arms we are now
soft kisses are the chosen punctuation
for tales of romance and dedication
I believe these will come true
I want to
here, now
this moment
suspended in darkness
filled with your musky scent
my growling vocalizations
where time has been banished
where you and I are one creature
whose sole purpose is to melt into itself
roiling with pleasure and desire
I want to
here and now
live in these dreams
believe that this will last forever
that you and I will live out these days
spending every night like this one
every day like this one
laughing and loving
raising our children to be good people
growing old together
and dying in each others arms
This is crazy, you know
there is so much between
here
and
then
as now expands
pushes away the dawn
pushes away the dusk
fills up this darkness
that it may last forever
It seems easy to believe
easy to ignore the difficulties
but there, between us
I see some hope
hope enough to try
