A Coupling of Desire

This poem was inspired by and written for, the love of my life. She knows who she is. PTD

A touch of skin soft and slippery,
With the hint of sweat.
We fought our resistance beneath the cool sheets,
As the wind flowed from the window above us.
Eyes met briefly and begged for the chance,
To abandon all of our uncertainties.
I began to work on your lips,
Probing gently as if drawing sex,
From a deep well of longing and need.
Then heated tongues met in the midst,
Of hot and quickening breath.
And greedily we drank the wine of our lusts.
Then intoxicated with those spirits,
Our clothes found resting place on the floor.
Piece by piece,
Until there were no hiding places,
For the two glistening and wanting bodies.
Hunger revealed in this hot moment.
Then skin meshed with skin,
As the floor became the stage.
I moved atop of you easily,
And lowered myself gently.
Kissing you as I filled you.
As a gasp broke the kiss,
My hands stroked the stray strands,
Away from your forehead, then became entangled.
Our slow rhythm gave way,
To urgent and demanding thrusts of passion,
As you arched your body for my comfort,
And I threw you into ecstasy,
With the strength of my blows.
I left you screaming and soaked,
Into oblivion again and again,
As I growled your name from the back of my throat,
And our bodies both demanded more,
Each giving to the other,
High on the fluids of foreign substance.
You grasped, then released me,
Grasped then released me,
In effort to relieve me of my control.
The taste of my skin between your lips,
Was like no other.
To hear my cries of mercy,
When your teeth met my warm skin,
Was more breathtaking than you knew.
Yet you still released the control to me.
As I wound my hands in your hair,
And pulled until the flesh on your neck was taut,
I moved with one final and breaking blow,
Forcing our way to the peaks of bliss,
Leaving our screams to echo on like battle cries.
You welcomed the weight of me to crush you,
As I collapsed on top of you,
Still hot and burning,
And you glowing like an ember,
Casting a welcome light,
Should I seek your gifts again.
