i believe that we've touched a thousand times already, shared bodies full of hunger and ravenous need. my flesh remembered yours before you even opened your arms to me. i delight in the next feast of you. for i have been hollow for so long, with only watery bowls of memory to sip. they do not sustain me but fill me instead, a place for which i will never thirst. only your warm heartbeat will do, only your soul will satisfy. keep me close when you declare that the sun has melted between our bones, leaving a soft honeyed river of our love to drown in.
in the cradle of your body, i discover the tender kisses and soft whispers envelop me. within the warmth of your embrace i find solace, and the subtle fragrance of your neck becomes a sweet intoxication. i meant it when i said i was yours from the start. i'll spend my days with you in grace, tangled limbs and treacly words. edging the tips of our tongues and spilling with a honeyed cadence over you. the number of times you silenced my tongue and my mind, greedily devouring my breath. i give you my moans as payment for your lessons.
you are my fire, you are the devouring and the rebirth of passion inside me. bleeding with pleasure i take all of it, gentle hands holding my aching body. a mortal kiss soaking my mouth and sliding into my throat, making me yours for an endless lifetime. your hand runs through my hair, press my face against your skin. i kneel before you an amorist, looking up at you. like i have lived my life in a cave and it is the first time i’ve seen the sun, now i understand why people worship it.
our bodies crash into each other like we are atoms f_cking in the hadron collider, like we are searching for the particle. or we are finding that the only time either of us talk to god anymore is when we wrap our arms around one another and pray. my hands press and pull at your hair like it is made of rosaries, your nails pull at my back like they are whips. i am a flagellant tearing myself apart for a chance to be closer to god, or have a heartbeat more with you.
