<\/p>\n
Making love last night,<\/p>\n
light as lace<\/p>\n
soft as skin,<\/p>\n
slow as the passing of the moon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First comes being here,<\/p>\n
exactly here.<\/p>\n
All the rest follows,<\/p>\n
intentionless as a dream.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do I dream these touches<\/p>\n
delicate as snow<\/p>\n
bending the hairs on my back?<\/p>\n
Lips and tongues brush<\/p>\n
weightless as ghost sheets.<\/p>\n
Attentions touch<\/p>\n
so electric we both startle.<\/p>\n
How long have I searched<\/p>\n
for someone who would share<\/p>\n
the delicacy of complete attention,<\/p>\n
pinpoints of touch totally given,<\/p>\n
totally received?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Face to face across the mirror<\/p>\n
we dance slower than I have ever moved before<\/p>\n
staying exactly together<\/p>\n
from first touch<\/p>\n
to night<\/p>\n
to morning<\/p>\n
to noon.<\/p>\n
We wait for one touch to be done<\/p>\n
before even imagining the next.<\/p>\n
We bleed into each other.<\/p>\n
We drink each other<\/p>\n
drop by drop,<\/p>\n
miss nothing along the way.<\/p>\n
Everything I give in my touch you receive,<\/p>\n
and your fingers answer with all of you.<\/p>\n
A bubble of light<\/p>\n
balances on our tongues<\/p>\n
our fingertips<\/p>\n
tracing filigree trails crisscross<\/p>\n
over shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n
There is no coming or going,<\/p>\n
only being here<\/p>\n
totally alive,<\/p>\n
totally aware.<\/p>\n
The road of the night shatters<\/p>\n
into steppingstone instants.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two pebbles, we jump<\/p>\n
into the still blue water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
