********

Why must my lips speak

A melody my fingers can play

Must I weaken your ear

When I can weaken your knees?

Looks and sounds are nice

But feelings are beter

Why stumble over three words

When I can double your pleasure with

The featherlight touch of my fingertips

Words are so mundane

I would rather profane a moment with the

Unyeilding touch, the gift

Of all I have and have to give

To live with you wrapped, no curled

(my fingers, your toes),

No, gripping my fingers

Gasping the same way you did

When you were first given life

And given again

To arch and release, to obscene

The silence with the tell tale

Whimpering of two and too

Pleasurable

If there were ever such a thing.

I want to bring you to the edge

And hold you there, begging with

Your eyes, your lips, for sweet release

For your hands

To search for comforting firmness

For something to hold

All the while, inexorable circles

Of a lover’s touch, driving the point

Home like words cannot

Your lips and body making an ‘O’

I don’t have to say it, not now

Not that it would register,

I can give it

You can feel it

This is spiritual, this is everything

The apex of physiology, biology,

Of romance

Happiness brought in ways we could only

Previously imagine

Base instincts take over

(yet still only third)

Curling, my fingers, your toes

And it’s so intense, so beautiful

The three words seem so childish

So understated

Compared to this moment

Calling for a deity a thousand times

What else brings such passion?

Certainly not words, sweet as they can be

And it’s everything, Anything

I feel for you and you for me

In one moment

One moment

One moment

Slays three words

They’re one and the same

I won’t say it, not with my lips

(maybe later)

But you cannot deny the power of

The feelings

And what we do and have done

And will do

A small part of us

But for a moment, everything

Slayer of words

Crumbler of walls

Screams and moans

Pants and breaths, never to be found

Today two years, and a hundred and six days

All in one moment

Tomorrow should you so choose

One hundred and seven

The words can’t hold it all

Can’t hold what I feel for you

But two fingers

And many heartbeats can

It’s a gift.

It’s everything I have for you

And I’m giving it to you

For a moment, thirty seconds

However long it takes

For the breaths and the heartbeat

And the moans to rise to a ******

And gradually fall

Reveling in the moment, the Love

We’re not fools

No matter what they call it.
