sky and fog

sky and fog

A Poem by honeyleens
"

this hunger that is buried under our skin quietly unsaturated, under nourished

"
the twilight shatters around our bodies
as we lay together, breathing softly
this hunger that is buried under our skin
quietly unsaturated, under nourished
we stay an inch apart, avoiding lush sin
but waiting for the break, the end of tension. 
we look and do not touch, awareness
taut like a pulled wire, sizzling like 
sun drenched skin, and we are so eager.
eager, eager, as we drink in these meager 
touches -- brushes of skin, breath against lips
lush enough to kiss, hands walking across slender hips.
we are here, but inches apart. holding close, but heart
like the melody of a skylark, song bursting mid flight,
this burdened anxious feeling bubbles over as
air rushes past wings of youthful attraction;
touch feeling like gold feels to Midas, 
warmth to the ice, we melt together, 
curled around each other like sky and fog.

Beautiful and enriching imagery like always. The slightest touch satisfies a healthy appetite for affection. Clearly, the lovers are undernourished since they are unable to act upon their emotion. Sexual overtones continue to build in subtle waves until the suspense is ended with the loss of virginity perhaps.
