Sweat
I'm working late at night, wishing to be elsewhere.
duty bound
listening to indigo girls. It's so hot,
only the tickety tak of my keyboard
and the occasional beeeeeep
of the UPS telling me
I'm still alive.
I feel the sweat trickle down my chest
one drop that rolls
in a vain attempt to cool
me down.
And I'm transported.
"We can't", you murmured, "it's the wrong time"
And I nodded and kissed you.
You moved to help me remove the last of our clothing.
"We can't", you murmured again
and slid down onto me, wide eyed and pleasure sighs
and the sweat rolled off our bodies.
I remember a room where you and I were,
in a stinking summer and we were in the first
blush of knowing each other. Sex in all
it's glory. Passion reigned.
Your red thighs clamped around me
and the sweat rolled off our bodies
The candles flickering, casting moving shadows
You lit them for atmosphere,
but we didn't need it.
We made our own, you rising above me,
poised, wet, eager
and the sweat rolled off our bodies.
next?
