There were palms rubbing together
Skin folding over skin
Lapping up the heat between two barren bodies
There was a man whose heart was empty
His eyes were cold –unseeing
He used the friction to dull the pain
There was a woman whose body was needy
It craved contact –touch
The sensation of skin dulled the ache
There was a second
Or maybe a fraction
Of a fraction of one
There, in that second
There were two hearts which
Involuntarily opened up
There were two gazes that
Coincidentally met
There were three words which
Were silently whispered
And in the end
There were two souls which had
Intertwined inexplicably
And
There were two people who had
Realized that things would be okay

I'm so happy! I just logged on to see that this little project of mine had made it to #250 in the Spiritual section. Thank you so much to everyone who gave my works a chance and took the time to read them. And a special thank you to my one dedicated voter (you know who you are). You rock!
xx,
