Our Way

If your flight
led you to my bay
I’d find a way
To swim to you
The waves know of our love
They’d carry us
To secret caves
The icy chill outside
Would matter not
As a phoenix we would burn
Our feathered touch
Birthed anew
To land as dew
On each others skin
My flame of red
Would beg
your fingers reach within
My kisses landing soft
Warm, teasing, wet
I’d bring you closer, Love,
In a heartbeat
To my heartbeat
Feel our heartbeats
Merge as one
Come closer, Closer, Lover mine
I’ll whisper secrets down your chest
Trace their letters on your groin
I dream to hear you moan my name
As I explore the length of your thigh
Though I tease myself as well
Because I want you
Need you
Ache and burn for you
I want to meld our bodies
Into living art that feels with passion
All these years of quieted desire
All these years of silenced affection
Every repetition caged away
In secret places
Where the words “I love you”
Lodged, forbidden

Fly to this bay, my Love
Find a way
This art of us
Flaming blue and red
needs expression
Draw closer, my Dear,
Fly to my bay
I’ll swim to you
Someday
