To the Core

To the Core

Kiss me there,
now here again,
as the night
bathes us in
moonlight,
lightning
off in the distance
as the thunder
matches time
with our heartbeats

Take another look,
deep into my eyes
and see what I
“feel” when your
body covers mine

Passion newly
rising as we
find ourselves
once again
feeling the
need to be
closer than
the moment
before

Over and over
our bodies
join, touching,
moving, melding
into one, where
one could not
tell where the
other began,
flesh on flesh
sweat laden,
taking each other
to the very core
of ecstasy
and intent

Blazing off into
the land of
contentment,
I rest my head
on your chest,
spent…
