Within the delicious lick of a dream
Stood you, charged with meaning
Waiting for me
As if you sensed my breath
The space between us dissolved
And you opened the door to reveal
Me, already crumbling
With one strong hand you grasped my thin wrist,
Pulled me into the room breathless
Pinned it above my head
Air escaped me
And with your other sturdy hand
Gripped my graceful neck, forcefully
with longing
All this time of waiting
To dismantle ourselves
Fingers explored inches of skin
Wrist, elbow, shoulder
The hollow of collarbone
Wisp of hair
And settled gently on my face
Started me dissolving
Reading the silence from blue eyes
You titled my parted mouth
toward you
stole the moisture from my lips
The walls around me crumbled
And the wind rushed in
