You

You
Now and again I
find myself drawn
back to the day
when I first
laid eyes on you

You stood with
the confidence
of a king, yet
the twinkle
in your eyes
told me I
would have
more than I
bargained
for if I
played with
the fire I
was beholding

But drawn
like a bear
to honey,
I could not
stay away

It was an
unseen force,
pulling me
ever closer
to a time
when I had
to know you
in the way a woman and
man were
meant to
know each
other

With primal
need, yet
tender force,
you took me
as soon as I
opened the door

Never in my
wildest dreams
had I expected
such release of
lust and desire,
I knew not of
it’s existence

Longing turned
to need and
drove us both
onward, me
crying out in
moans of pure
pleasure as your body’s sweat
dripped like
raindrops
onto my breasts

Your hands held
my hips as you
moved in the
rhythm of the night
over and over
again I soared
through ecstasy’s
sky, burning as
brightly as
a falling star

And when your
body became
rigid, you let
go and completely
gave yourself
to me, in that
very second, I
knew what
“joining” was,
at last
