Subtle Doors

Blood rushes from the heart
Propelled by lust
Testing the limits of veins and arteries
Stretching skin to almost painful proportions
Muscles tensed raising the stake
Seeking its tomb of purpose

Self-motivated it slides open the subtle doors
Peers into its heaven
Resisting the controllable urge to plunge
Slowly exploring in delicate increments
Prolonging the joyous journey
Taking in each millimeter
Of an exquisite creation

Reaching the depths
Desperately trying to explore deeper
Reluctantly retreating
A reverse physiology
Hesitating at the entrance
Intuitively knowing it is there
Reentering to take in sensations missed

Heaven is welcoming now
Warmly greeting its visitor
Taking the lead in an unchoreographed dance
Leaping and twirling around the floor
Tossing each other about
Sweet sweat beading a back
Beading a breast
Flailing toward exhaustion

Its heaven has reached full glory
Praise is bestowed
Parting gifts received
The subtle doors close
As preparation begins for the next celebration
