Intricate Intimacy

Nervous but willing I hold out my arms,
as he takes my hands and leads me off the bed.
Twisting my scarf into intricate knots, a new intimacy forms
and a dominating kiss empties my head.
We laugh at the efficiency of the soft woven silk
that hung round my neck just hours before
I feel his delicate cuffs embrace my milky wrists
as he throws the tied end over the door.

Soft material swaddling my chest,
Arms reach through my arms, strengthening their grip.
I can feel the restraint shallow my breath;
My mind enticed, previous apprehensions slip.
Every muscle relaxes as faux ropes are tightened,
fingertips through hair make my imagination stir
With relinquished control my senses are heightened
I am drunk with gratitude for this sensual liquor.

Blind-folded, perception disguised; I am transported within.
Electricity courses through every inch of caressed flesh.
Skin brushing against bare skin,
new memories, bodies and limbs enmesh.
Lips wet against the arch of my feet
tongue gliding up my shin at the slowest tempo
teeth nibbling at my thigh, sharp but sweet
into the rabbit hole, we explore.

Tensions tighten as he pulls me upright and offers me release
So immersed in the moment it seems we tied before undressing.
His will, my scissors; tearing open nylon and lace
bare hands ripping seams with my enthusiastic blessing.
Tugging on the handles he’s weaved around my shape
my inhibitions strip away, leaving without a trace
I melt into a kiss so deep It’s impossible to escape.
Tied, tussled, torn and teased I greet my coup de grace.
