Words swirl around in my head begging for release
On the tip of my tongue are the words that
would push you away from me
Whatever I had planned to say to you is forgotten as your breath
fans the tendrils of hair that forever clings to my face
I shouldn't be here, that much I know
But I can't deny you anymore than I could deny water
from a cool mountain stream
I never did have the strength to tell you no
All thoughts flee from my mind as your lips slowly descend upon mine
The scent that is uniquely yours surrounds me as my treacherous fingers
twine themselves through your hair bringing your lips closer to mine
The feel of your skin against mine is like satin...forever sliding, meeting no resistance
The sound of your voice melts away the last of my resistance
as you whisper my name over and over again as if it were a prayer
to a god that would save you from the fiery pits of hell
We arch against each other, straining to get closer
to become that magical number
We should put an end to this exquisite torture. We both know that we can't go on like this forever
nothing good can come from this
I've always known deep in my heart that I'll never be able to get enough of you
no matter what the price is I'll have to pay for wanting this to never endTantalum's Poems
