Them

The music reverberated in everyone's heart,

Each thump synced,

Filling hearts with power,

Power to be complete and extrinsic.

Their two hearts synced with each other before the music.

The lights shown on them like an exhibit,

Portraying utter passion,

They attacked each other with pure ecstasy.

Filling the space between them with insurmountable emotion.

They became entangled with one another.

Willing the world with their lips,

Oblivious to the old world.

They embodied two tigers fighting for dominance but wanted the other to match whatever was put out.

Their bodies shimmered with glistening beads of sweat,

The alcohol on their breath empowered them more.

Everything combined to create two raw Adonis' with no other meaning to them than to soak up the moment and feel the music in their bones and passion in their blood.

Their heat and sweat made it look like they were made of diamond.

Their shirts tightened against their chests as their breathing grew heavy.

It was as if they became the beat themselves,

Aggressive,

Raw,

Climatic.

They pulled themselves to each other in a way that flowed with the sounds around them,

True split-aparts.

Yet it looked as if they only wanted each other,

Clawing for more and more as people moved around them.

They had become gods of pure need and want.

They willed the world that lie before them,

Between them.

Yet it still wasn't enough.

They needed more,

more body,

More passion,

More music.
