I said "yes"

I said “yes” tonight
said it with two words
making your heart skip a beat
begin to race, like mine races now

You’ve waited so long.

Though my lips, soft tongue
work liquid magic on you
there’s another dance
your body aches to dance
I’ve come to trust your smile
and the wine is so persuasive
I’m drifting on its warm, red sea
when you begin surfing me
balanced above
in the sweltering dark
The Army of Night
chants outside your window
You’ve caught their rhythm
swinging your hips in time
your thrust thrusting me
into my slick pool beneath
driving me toward ecstasy
Stars drop from the sky
light up behind my eyes

pain subsiding
in breathless surrender
Your virgin sacrifice
I’ll be your guy, your girl
anything you ask
Now you’ve forgotten words
Your body speaks for you
in the rain of your sweat upon my back
warrior’s grip on my shoulders
quickening of your caress inside me
a kiss planted on my spine
You edge beyond the edge
arching your back, digging in
wordless cry filling your room
I flood the space beneath me
you flood me
with warm sweet beautiful you
