Deeper

Just when I think
I can’t possibly feel more
want more,
need more…

Just when I think
my eyes have seen
everything that can be called beauty
in your eyes,

Just when I think
my heart can’t beat any faster,
and my breath
can’t catch in my throat
any more than it already does,

You take me deeper.

Just when I think
I’ve found perfection
in your trembling touch,
heaven in your smile,
and something like home
in the sweet music of your laugh,

Just when I think
I can’t crave your body
more than I do now,
can’t ache more for your warmth
or hunger more for release
in the shelter of your arms,

Just when I think
there is no greater pleasure
than giving myself to you
in every way a person can

You take me deeper…

You unfold before me
like a desert bloom
welcoming, alluring
verdant with sensual promise
and lush pleasure,

You pull me in,
deeper
and deeper
until I’m joined with you
in that most primal
and savage of ways…

You surround me, engulf me
drag from my ragged voice
sounds of pleasure and pain,
of sweet agony and desperation
as my body obeys your
skilful commands.

And just when I think
I can’t possibly be any deeper,
lost in your depths and
utterly yours,
you turn your eyes up to me
and smile
and I know
that I am only,
just barely,
skimming
the surface.
