You lay down your head on my knees as was our ritual
my arms a pillow of comfort around you neck
in the dim light of the screen we sit
moving pictures showing the inner turmoil of our hearts
i brush your hair back softly
unconscious of this display of affection
the drink of the age old monks long since taken over
the controls of my body
in silence we comfortably relax
each sailing in the dreams of alcohol
all to aware of the person beside
your hand gently takes hold of mine
your lips brushing against my fingertips
a rare display of what you always try to hide
my body gently shivers at the delicate softness of those lips
that whisper airs of dreams on my bronze tender skin
i cant help but look down at your face
hiding my desires under a veil of short hair
praying to the gods for a control i no longer possess
and as you choose the most inappropriate moment
to open those lips to display a facet of your wealthy knowledge
my lips rush forward to silence them
beseeching you to retaliate in anyway you can
all i want is an action an emotion a declaration
i feel myself giving up as i move softly against your silent lips
that haven't moved since my admittance
i pull away in shame knowing that once again I've lost
another battle defeated in
another conquest unconquered
but suddenly as quick as lightening your lips move
this time to crush themselves forcefully against mine
knocking out all the breath inside my lungs
your heat transfers to my skin and all i feel is fire
surrounding our bodies
pushing us to melt into each other
your strong fingers hold my small face lovingly
as did Michelangelo the face of David
moving with the same passion as he
but your goals far less noble
your hands twist themselves in my hair firmly
as the roots do to the ground
holding me in place
not letting the possibility of me escaping slip in
every movement every touch every kiss
releases those carnal moans inside me
that longed to sing to your tune
we fall into each other
tossing away the barriers that still try to keep us apart
we rip tear and shred away our modesty
feeling skin upon skin
burning our desires deeply into each other
scarring ourselves in our passion
i can feel every drop of hate love fear
and insecurity you feel course through me
clinging to you for support
as you ravish and eat away my inhibitions
every strangled sound escaping my throat
only to further motivate you
tears of happy sadness erupt endlessly as i
feel you peel away darkness
to let the light within shine
blinding the both of us in surprise
i return each move with equal ferocity
selfishly locking away your beauty as my prisoner
marking you to be mine forever
we chain ourselves to each other
securing the locks so to never break away
and when i finally look again into those deep pools of darkness
i see a reflection of promise and hope within
sealing our fate for eternity.
