unbidden

lay beside me
on this dewy evening grass
and dream with me.

no, don't close your eyes...
please, look into mine.

i sense your hand upon the grass
beside mine- i feel the heat
emanating from your body.

there is a vibrating potency
to our quiet, forbidden passion
on this night.

we have known one another (before)
i know the angles of your body
as only a lover would.

time has passed, but sometimes
i still gasp

at the snapshots of our love.

the hot, unbidden memories
of us.

As always, you manage to zero in on the essential aspects of a moment, elucidating them for me in such a way that makes me feel as though I "know" that moment.

"no, don't close your eyes...
please, look into mine."

This was quite an effective line, both in content and timing. I can understand the instinct to close one's eyes to heighten the sense of the moment. But to look into another's eyes instead (especially being asked to do so), adds a level of intimacy and intensity that amplifies the perception of the moment even more. Those lines perfectly set the tone for the rest of the piece.

Another lovely journey.
