entr'acte...

 
palm to palm
fingers linked
knuckles pressed into the sheets
the world fades away
everything centered
this place
this time

your breath
caressing my face
my eager gasp
as your veined throb
presses into my hunger
exquisite dimensional spreading

hips shift & rise
seeking further depth
a need to be so deeply seated
there's no room for anything else
thighs wrapped tight around your back
fighting hard to keep greed in check

as the urge to grind & chase completion
burns...through my racing pulse
this is eternity & heaven all rolled together
& I crave the torture of denial
the building of pressure
endurance stressing

until gasps become frantic
gentle touches turn to grasping
& together we fly to faraway lands
time measured in eruptions & spasms
funneling into the vortex of us
as we cling to each other
through the turbulence

slowly returning
from the brink
forehead to forehead
knuckles pressed into the sheets
palm to palm
fingers linked
