Intimately Apart

Lying here
watching you, watch me
unabashedly, intently.
Shivers course through my body
as warmth spreads.

Not touching each other,
but ourselves, individually;
providing a private peep show,
each for the other.

My fingers lightly touch
my body, teasing;
while your hand
grasps that part
you know so well.

Undulating bodies
strain for release.
My fingers rubbing;
your hand stroking;
our eyes locking
as we breathe deeply.

Whimpers released unknowingly,
enhance the experience;
telling their own story
of heightened senses
and mutual pleasure.

Detaining your release
as you wait for me,
we move toward completion;
intimately apart,
but yet, connected.

Spasms rack each body;
synchronized to perfection.
Satisfaction is rendered.
Sweet affliction,
the memory's name.

Lying here
watching you, watch me
unabashedly, intently.
Absorbing the experience,
separately but equally.
