poem of desire

darkness

a touch

hesitant at first, then more confident

fingertips on skin

neck, shoulders, collarbones, chest

the hair rising

a palm on the stomach

feeling the breath, feeling the life

the foreign warmth of another body

asking without asking

silence

a sigh

quiet at first, then less restrained

fingers on fingers

stomach, hips, loins, length

the body waking

a hand between the legs

feeling the silkiness, feeling the lust

the foreign weight of another length

taking without taking

heat

a longing

subliminal at first, then all-consuming

body with body

twisting, sliding, moving, moaning

the lust thriving

a hand over the chest

feeling the beat, feeling the rush

the familiar pace of another heart

owning without owning

release.




I thought about how to describe sex and desire in a very disconnected way. It was not intentional that it turned out as a poem, but I seem to have a thing for that.
