nameless

You never have to say it.  I only want to feel it.

In your smile, in your touch, in those glances you only think you are stealing.

Lets not give it a name.

when you kiss me goodbye, i imagine you are holding my face in your hands.  you watch me for what seems like lifetimes, but more like just a few seconds.  

studying the curvature of my face, curiously memorizing, burning it into your heart so that you can kiss me over and over again, every time you close your eyes.

you trace my lips with your thumb from the right to the left

up my cheek, to the corner of my eye, then down again

underneath my chin and around to the other side.

i imagine you pulling me into you.  my eyes are lowered, you lower yours to meet them.

your nose gently grazes mine.  your lips part to take mine in.   your tongue softly outlines my lips before the kiss.

the soft, gentle kiss. 

and i can feel that kiss each time i breathe in, each time my eyes close, each time i see your face.

breathe.  [inhale/exhale]  slowly.  [inhales.exhale] slower still. [inhale.............exhale..........]  it is the first time in your presence and i find i cannot breathe. [inhale]

can you hear me breathing.

there is nothing left in my body.  I take one half step towards you.  trembling. [exhale...]

a million thoughts going through my mind.

how do i do this.  what do i do first.  do i lift my eyes or my head.  do i lean in or pull back.  when should i breathe. 

we are finally here.  we are strangers.  step across the line with me.  we will not tarry long, but the journey will not be quick.

we will stay on this side of the tree for as long as we need to be.  you will explore my flower petals, and i, your branches.

we will learn of each other first, and love on each other later.  we have all the time in the world.  

there is distance between us because there needs to be -  for fear we may lose control.

breathe.  slowly.  slower still.  i stand before you now and struggle to find breath.

claim your body.  it no longer belongs to anyone, but to you.

touch it.  memorize it.  conquer it.  feel it.

time will pass before the next time is able to come.

we are new lovers.  inexperienced lovers.  but we are lovers.

if your hand never touches my body, you have already made to me.

i would like to make love to you.
