Surrender to the pounding beat,
skin silently gliding on skin,
attentive to the slightest
change in your hungry kiss.

Fingers explore hints
of silken textures,
taste the demands
radiating from deep within.

Withdrawing for a moment,
our tongues greedily taste you,
a grin widens as I return
and remember the flutters.

Remember what lies
between the notes.

The speedy plucks that make
a body give way to crescendo,
how I find myself again through you,
find light only beyond swimming in darkness.

Surrender to the pounding beat,
skin silently gliding on skin,
tentative kisses saying more here
than all the words we've caged inside.

I explore hints of molten silk,
taste the demands radiating
from where you now clasp.

Withdrawing much later on,
you will still hold our heat,
chart contours touched in loops
like the unique patterns in fingerprints
and remember what music we make.

What darkness we swam through
to find ourselves once again.

As bodies give way to crescendo.

To what lies between the notes.
