The warmth of your body

Perfectly pressed against mine

Our heights perfect, bodies intertwined

Breath stops, hearts race

I ache for you suddenly

As naturally as flowers ache for rain

And as necessary as air

Wanton, if I look up, lips slightly parting

And you lean in, I  know

The instant we are lip to lip

And hip to hip

Tongues delving deep, like making love

That the floodgates of my desire

Will break open and I will fall

Into your arms, with soft moan

And the velvet of your fingers

Cannot be denied any longer

With a kiss, the mighty fortress

Of my chastity will fall to pieces

I, all breathless in soft gasps

Given into my wanting

To feel your hard insistence

Pressed close as two clothed can be

If it was not a city street

With passersby on a warm summers eve

It could have swept all reason clean away

With nothing but a kiss

(Old poem from 1995)
