Tired
limbs and sore bodies holding close in tight quarters.
We
could feel the gasps of sleep on our faces.
Trying
to sneak glimpses of the others sleeping face, quickly shutting
our eyes when the others opened.
Pretending
‘No.
I wasn’t gazing at you.’
‘No.
I wasn’t trying to capture exactly how you look right now’
‘No.
I wasn’t trying to drink up the serenity of you skin.’
Fingertips
brush across soft shoulders and stomachs.
Silken
and cotton sleep wear tangles in arms and legs.
We
may be beat from exhaustion and cold.
But
it’s hard to sleep when your heart is beating this fast.
Our
teeth crash into one another.
The
pain shoots up our spines, rushing over our skulls.
We
hardly notice.
The
intensity of desire and want conquers all other synapses.
We
fumble into each other at first, jerky motions and awkward hands.
At
least the embarrassment is mutual.
Soon
our flush-cheeked self-consciousness is washed away as primal
impulses take over.
Furiously
our lips and fingertips lick the others.
Before
long we are so overcome it’s hard to tell if we are in fact
devouring each other.
So
fierce and angry with what seems to be our ‘forbidden love’
We
hardly notice our bodies becoming bloody and bruised with emotions.
I
have missed you so much.
