Kyle wrote this poem for me Monday night because he was missing being close…it was so evocative that when I read it, the lines in blue flowed into my head and we agreed that they fit together like two sides of a conversation. Writing like this has become a wonderful way for us to experience shared moments together, even from so far away.
You’re standing at the window, looking out, watching the birds perhaps.
The world seems brighter when you’re here.
The simple pleasure of being in the same room with you is almost overwhelming.
This feels so good, I want to save the moment in my hands.
I walk up behind you, quickly, quietly. One arm goes around your waist, open palm caressing your belly, pulling you against me.
Your touch is electric, your hands strong and gentle.
I hear you sigh and lean into me. Every contact point between us, intense.
Skin
groin to ass.
breath
belly to lower back.
We were made to fit like this.
breasts to shoulder blades.
and now,
Mmmmm, my love
my other hand brushes your hair aside
seducing
my lips against your shoulder, your neck
a shock, a shudder, a sigh
You press against me, not the urgent need of our reunion moment, but a slower, gentler desire, a desire that will take its time.
sliding into place
lean into me, my love
letting down walls
feel my desire, feel my patience
two heartbeats
know my heart, know my soul
rhythms dancing
a moment suspended, no outside pressure, no need beyond holding you
nothing but you and me
knowing you
and falling
feeling you
slowly
loving you
into love
I love this. I love that we have so many ways to communicate. I love that you inspire me to write poems and I’m so happy that what I write inspires you to respond in this way.
Writing together, creating together, it’s part of who we are as a couple and it excites me. We continually inspire each other and that makes me excited about the future. And, damn, I’m in love with us.
can’t wait to touch you for real, baby
This is incredibly sweet and romantic
You two are an amazing team. Thanks for sharing.
