numb below her neck

sunlight shines through pale drapes
while fingers tread a path across
the tanned skin of her stomach
her dark hair stretches across the blue sheets
like the wet sands of English Bay
each strand shining brightly
as if they combined were the landscape designed
to represent her inner beauty
her eyes belie
the resolve of both her and I
as our bodies refuse to keep a safe distance
but at this very instant
my wrist is transferring my pulse
to her
and from her stomach it rises up through
her smile
and i can feel my heart beat through her
the words she speaks are soft
as i firmly massage her palms
her voice is jazz
my hand pulls her closer
like a cool mist on a hot day
a whisper escapes my lips and permits her release
and she is left refreshed
a warm breath touches the curve of her neck
and her fingers scrape into the sheets
the warm air continues to move
her body displays the obvious clues
as she struggles to keep her legs pressed together at the knees
our soft chatter
is more than just pillow talk
for we express passion and yearning
through simplistic honesty
and she comes to find
that the sun is not the only thing that's up this morning
as she sits atop of me
i slip the slip off of her soft skin
my hand
and her hand
clasp tight to form OUR HANDS
and proof of her pleasure is spread along
a shaft that's half-way hidden in my pants
the morning birds chirped music
to our private dance
gone are inhibitions and regret
gone is the fedora
that sitting atop her head was a perfect fit
gone are the soft spoken montras
(dead kittens, dead kittens, dead kittens)
we can lie to ourselves no more
this was bound to happen
i knew it days before i closed that door
but here and now
all that matters is this feeling
she sits up straight
tilts her head back and i swear we might float to the ceiling
and you've barely scratched the surface
when you say she's a marvelous being
her hand holds my neck and ensures that she can look me in the eyes
as my hands casually avoid
the warm spot between her thighs
a moan asks me not to tease
she takes a deep breath
as her body silently pleads
i pull her in close to me
and breathe in her scent
i can feel her heart beat in morse code
"STOP TEASING ME!"
but i refused to relent
i teased myself
buried my face in her breasts
and lost myself in the absolute warmth
in her skin
lost my breath
forgot my place
and slipped one finger in
from the minute we met
it was obvious that i could easily get under her skin
so she shouldnt have been so surprised
though i revelled in the amazement in her eyes
as it only took one of my digits to stimulate
the center of her nerve endings
we were through pretending
denials put to rest
cause she announced her arrival
while digging her fingers into my chest
collapsed on top of me
completely numb everywhere
below her neck.
