What if we found ourselves
all alone in a darkened room
with only a single candle...
its amber glow lighting you
from within, flickering
reflections in your eyes.
And if I left my senses
for just a moment and
brushed along your neck
with a stroke of satin...
...would you quiver like the flame
that dances in your fantasies?
If I wandered up your
gracefulness and lifted
your chin, posing you just so...
looking through your eyes
to see everything inside...
what would I see?
Would you stop me if I
found your lips with a
whispering kiss...barely touching,
speaking transluscent words
that have no sound and
require no translation.
What if it felt just right
and you forgot about your
circumstances...lingering
just a little longer than
you should with an answer
you never meant to give?
If you drank in a breath of
momentary surrender, would you
want me to kiss you a little
longer, a little deeper...
reaching for a place where
you can only feel the truth?
And if I surrounded your soul
in a shameless embrace...
opening impossible doors...
would you feel my heart
burning to tell you the things
I only utter in my dreams.
Would we sink into your steaming
garden, losing our minds in the
forest of an expanding inferno...
melting hopelessly together
in a scalding daze of forgetfulness...
would you let that happen?
How long would it take you
to exhale those simmering shivers...
the ones that come from nowhere
and radiate like hot novas through
every pore of your awareness...
would it take forever?
And where would we go from there...
does it matter?
