Untethered

Doors shut, we tune out the world

But there’s no need for that

For when you’re in front of me

The world falls away

Becoming nothing but a shimmer

Unable to compare to your dazzling presence

 

Candles lit, your eyes lock on mine

And in that instance, my gravity is ruled by you

Your skin is warm amber, begging to be touched

Yet your silhouette demands seductive submission

Each movement is exact and erotic

As you approach me from across the room

 

Desire turns into need

And time becomes nothing to us

Minutes turning into endless hours

With no thoughts but of each other

 

Your mouth inscribes sweet nothings on my skin

Kissing compliments into undeniable truth

Your tongue eagerly explores every inch of my body

Mapping all curves, rises, dips, and valleys

Committing them to sacred memory

While you inch me closer towards that edge

 

Quiet whispers of desire turn into begging moans

As the pleasure builds and swells

A small ripple turned all-consuming tidal wave

Your hands tenderly cradle my heart and my soul

Fingers untying the strings that keep me here

And, finally, setting me free

 

Falling, floating, gently gliding

I softly land back in your loving arms

And the world sees us as we are

Two souls intertwined, laced together by love
