You are better than midnight sex
or heavy breathing through phone lines when I’m lonely
                               but when you’re next to me I feel you in my every pore
                                                                and my body calls out
                                 Take me.
[I find my lips
whisper just the same.]

I want to be the fire beneath you
that ignites the flame within your soul
and makes your passion burn,
because you are swimming through my veins and it is
driving
   me
      crazy.

Gasp and moan that you need me as badly
as I need you.

                                                                     God, I need you.

I want your grey green eyes hovering above me,
half lidded
and telling me that I am something worth desiring.

I want you      c   l   o   s   e   r
        c  l  o  s  e  r
                                                   c l o s e r
             closer
in this sensuous dance of flesh
until my eager lips press themselves against yours in an attempt
to regain some form of sanity.

Make my heart pound until I fear it could burst
with _lust and love.
      Tell me I am yours
and let me feel it from the inside out

because in these moments
in which you and I are one
I see a glimpse into forever.
