No matter how much I tremble,
whatever pleas and whispers
I'm able to utter between breaths

Keep your promise to never stop.

Deliver me to the threshold
and we will push beyond
our own darkness together.

As I press into you,
memorizing that first unique gasp,
the new fire rushing in our veins
like molten trails through the earth
when an urgent thrust begins to speak.

It's as if I'm seeking myself
inside and throughout you,
some peak no one travels to
or loses themselves in alone.

You've never asked what
I was endlessly searching for,
your body imparted the answer before
realizing we're simply puzzle pieces
that finally found their way home.

No matter how much I tremble when
your teeth sink into that delicate plane
where my neck and shoulder join

The sting says you'll never stop.

That you'll deliver us to the threshold
and make me remember who I am,
remember how darkness presses together,
swells into blinding light as we burst.

And as I sink into you,
the heat between us is immeasurable,
it's as if finally begin to understand
the untold immensity of scorched earths.

The peak that we reach together
as puzzle pieces that found their way home,
but no matter how much I may tremble

I beg you to never stop.
