Look in your eyes
See the world
Turning beneath
The blankets
Covering us
My foot takes a step
To you, touching you
Next to me, your skin
Against mine, soft
As petals, roses drift
A rise, hard, stretching
The skin, almost painfully
The ache, desiring
You, next, now
My last
Wrapping my arms around
Encircling you, pulling
Your lips to lips
Kissing, a nibble
Tickling senses
Pulling your back
Against your head
Clasped gently in my palms
Sore, from days working
Building dreams
Our eyes open, four
Then, two and then one
Effort toward each another
But then, it's not other
It's us, no longer singularly
Entering and welcoming
Giving and taking
Given and taken
A past and a present
At the same time
Rhythmically sung,
Harmony beating
Hearts synced in
Fluttering of breath
Motions in feeling
Each against the other
Then with, at, on
Under, in, out
Off, around
Over, and
More, with fingers
Teeth, just not breaking
Skin, touching
Closer now
We ***
Clasped, gasping
Lips together, pressing
Hand grip sheets
Each other, the bed
For dear life
It begins, ending
Circling like sharks
Not apart, predators
Hunting each other
Smiles, hungry
Losing time in our
Repetitions, our hours
Drifting into ourselves
Then without separation
Passing in to each other
Asleep, between thrusts
In our arms, eyes close
Your head, my shoulder
Your body, protective
My blanket, my Baby
Our nakedness
To each other
Open, trusting
Dreaming
Together
