Reading in(breathing out) Braille

Sometimes you just don't know how to read the one you care about most.

Your eyes were punishing me

That day on the beach when

In silence my fingers traced your skin again

I felt the impression of your moles beneath my finger tips

Like braille, I tried to read you

Like a blind woman, slow and hapless

Sometimes loosing and using my lips

Exploring the tapestry of flesh pressed

Soft against your bones and speaking to

Your soul; an echo from within

A reverberation vibrating back to me

Again

Recoil

Rewind

Your breaths and moans like Morse code

Gasp

Gasp

[Stop]

Puff

Puff

Please

[Stop]

But I couldn't decipher the message

Between puckered lips 

And crooked teeth, the steady croon

The shaky whir in the background

Of our lonely song

Separated by galaxies and timezones alone

I was too lost in the lines

Running from your lips to your finger tips

Too tangled in our mingled thoughts

Like star-dust and space-dust

Trapped within the rancor of our minds

All contracting and combining in a

White-hot burst of energy and entropy

And life, limitless beyond and within us

This "us" we've become after

So many hours and so many months

All adding up to this moment

And I think I understand the message

Your mind, not your body, was sending me

But my own mind, too credulous, couldn't capture its

Essence till that Golden Moment when 

All became one; two meshed in one

All became clear.
