I'm letting down my defenses
Though you've not yet proven that you can be trusted
All I ask is that you not break me
Because just this once I'd like to be **frail

The glow in my eyes
The smile I deny
I'm terrified

I know the straight line of your nose
Memorized the dimple in your chin
Engraved in my mind your spicy scent
I'm terrified

Your laughter rings in my ears
And I hear your sayings escape my lips
I'm terrified

I love the feel of your skin under my fingertips
My heart flutters when you hold my gaze
I'm terrified

Scared to want more from you
Petrified of asking
I'm struck mute by the possibility of your rejection
I'm terrified

I care for you more than I'd care to admit
And I am terrified by it

You kiss me, I kiss you
You grab me, I stroke you
On we go, *** for tat
Push inside
Fill me up
Stretch me out
I cling to you, surround you, arouse you
Still and slow at first
and the pressure builds
Harder and faster, till we're all skin, and teeth, and nails
And the smack of my skin on yours
It's a race
You pull me, I push you
You scratch me, I bite you
On and on it goes
Breath mingling, sweat mixing
Till we both come
panting, leaning on each other
This is physical, the most carnal desire.
This I understand. In this we are mere objects; animals moving solely on instinct.
It's the occasional tender touches that confuse me.
A soft kiss on my forehead, your hand seeking out mine; these baffle me.
Sometimes I wish I knew your intentions, sometimes I wish I knew mine.
Do I want more from you then the physical? Do you desire more from me?
In my wondering sometimes I think it might be nice to have a part of you,
and to give you something more of me.
But you never ask and I'm reluctant to offer.
Where are your layers?
Are we deeper than this kiddie pool we've been wading in?
What are we?
You never ask and I'm too cowardly to offer.
So we remain laying together, so close yet so distant.

I lost my innocence to the boy behind the red door
He was tender and he was kind
He was foolish and unsuspecting
He didn't know it was my first time
I left my innocence on the hardwood floor
It flew out the window and away with the breeze
I never was the lucky kind

That which gives life
takes it away
That which frees
simultaneously enslaves
That which nourishes me
destroys me
That which empowers
weakens the soul

I feel your warm embrace
Your fingers in my hair
Your lips across my skin
Your presence is everywhere

You deal gently with me
Your patience everlasting
One day you'll draw me in
Consummate this secret love affair

The air,
       thick and still

The heat,
        not uncomfortable but ever present

There is quiet

The silence,
      broken only by the crickets
      and one lone bird, singing out into the night

The music nature produces is enchanting

There is magic here after all

— The End —
