I just ache
to be touched by you
still swimming in heat
moist and quivering silently
beneath soft black cotton
but in those
fear-mongering moments
I can't move.
Like a statue made of marble
I ache to touch you but I end up
sitting there cold and lifeless
next to you on the bed
thinking of a million ways
in which to stroke you gently
but all we can muster together
is a few brushes of the hand
a head resting on a shoulder
a full-bodied tight squeezed hug
an awkward cheek kiss and
it's excruciatingly painful.
So much tension that builds
and builds and builds and builds
never getting anywhere.
I can feel it penting up in you too
through engorged pupils
shaking knocking knees
fidgeting hands
looks that aren't deadpan
but open and raw and swelling.
There are rises and dips
moments of eclipse
where you and I find comfort
in each other's arms
whether they be wrapped or resting
whether they be hovering just hovering
almost touching
we were almost touching.
Seeing your smile in the doorway
as I left
lanky frame in depth
an ache I cannot
escape
warming the cockles of this here mongrel heart
vast into infinity.
What a funny little cuddle jamboree!
