Emotions shy away from new adventures
Uncertain of place, wary of time,
Even when doors fly wide open,
Expectations temper joyful invitations.
Tantalized by mysteries,
Spiced with human interest,
Drawn over thresholds of social networks
In smiling assurance.
My coat draped over the banister
Left for casual retreat.
Hugs exchanged.
Accrued distances overcome,
Feigned limits surrendered,
A journey commences,
Edged with fears of falling,
Through doors of curious perception
Indulged by graceful persistence.
Fingers touch.
Hands entwine,
Yours in mine.
Fumbled buttons undone,
Thin skin exposed to healing kisses.
Wrinkles soothed.
Surprised by resonance,
Worries put to rest.
Nothing tested only abidance.
Lips eager,
Press warmly together,
Tongues play catch,
Energy brims with passion,
Redolent with pleasure like no other.
Of arms, legs and hips
In each other’s way
Unconcerned with ends
Seeking only presence
With nothing to defend.
Connection uncensored.
Intimate again,
Filled with endorphins
No need for discussion
Just room for laughter.
Swimming ancient currents of heartbreak
And accidents spilt over time.
Now moored in the eddies of mind,
The flow of our river undisturbed,
Carefree swims make room
For time to lounge in exuberant acceptance
Of each other.
So may it continue in your happy presence.
