Just Because You Used A Map Doesn't Mean You Won't Get Lost

I look Up at you,

     We're laughing and smiling

and suddenly you lean

                                               Down,

       [and cage me In]

                                My Back

                Against the Wall

You,

Against my Front

 

                Your hands are everywhere

     Your mouth is keeping me alive

 

I'm Surrounded

 

     We're not even inside yet

but I understand the impatience of your hands at my hips.

     by the time we make it to the door,

I've managed to

     leave

                      a

          bread

                               trail

        of

                     clothing

                                            behind

                    us

and your mouth has managed to

             find

          a

                        trail

                  leading

       lower

                           and

                                       lower

                on

                               my

                                             body

There's a speed bump

    at my collar bone

          so you stop for a moment

At this point my mind,

     refuses to focus,

          all I know is you:

       Your mouth,

                          skin,

                              hair,

                                   hands.

I can't get enough of You.

       You can't get enough of Me.

I feel

      Devoured

You say

      Love

And We

           Crash
