September Second Twenty Seventeen

Today with you
I felt an intimacy
more intense than
I had felt before.
Your kisses held me
suspended-my breath
caught between
inhale and exhale
I may be wrong-
though I don't believe I am-
I felt as though
we were more present
Maybe we both
let go of feelings
and things we held inside-
I felt the mix
of you and I
held a secret
a secret that was released
at the precise moment
that we came together
