Diamond Time

Between it all
Between the hectic, waltzing,
Rollercoaster flirt
The heated promise of desire
The back and forth teasing
The blazing heat
of consenting, agreeing eyes

Between that and the hours
Consumed by sex and passion
Trickling sweat
Trembling bodies
Shivering satiated souls
Release, glorious release

Between it all
Is that most sacred
Of all moments of clarity
That fraction of time
In which she
Offers it to you

That which you madly crave
That which catapults you
Into that void where reason
Has no home

That fragile, tender moment
That diamond time
In the midst of the whirlwind

When she nods to herself
deep inside
and decides to lift
Her metaphorical hem
And signal to you
That it is yours
To take

That visual incarnation
Of male desire
That velvety
Silken
Runway
To her soul

[and no matter how sure you were on your quest
You are humbled all the same
Grateful
And your heart lifts
And flies to the moon]
