crash together like waves

07/02/2009

your kiss comes like a cannonball
i'm your vessel, hit, i fall
lay your claims, and come aboard
find within yourself restored
i can tell when the waves will come
our gaze freezes till one succumbs
the cannonball strikes again but now
the bounds are broken, i allow
the tongue to feel its own way through
i find myself closer to you
your hands graze over my body where
my fingers slide and grip your hair
your lips on my throat follow their track
trace your fingers down as i arch my back
now we've moved from rivers to oceans
there's no more boundaries between our skin
the sweat on your skin tastes like saltwater sweet
and our bodys intertwine all the way to our feet
the simplest taste and you envelope me whole
your mouth moves so swiftly, we've lost control
and the way that you taste, my god, i'm submersed
all the water on earth couldn't quench this thirst
and it slows, and we feel calm before the storm
your body, my body, so soft and so warm
our eyes meet again and as i reach for your kiss
it begins and the world stops, all there is is this
and we sigh and cry out, i'm full from within
feel my hands grip as you melt into my skin
and you go to kiss me, and how my lips quiver
we whisper, feel misted, i'm hot but i shiver
we're two solid beings but the way that we flow
we mix and move as fluid as any ocean we know
soaking wet, treading water, drowning in you
hearts beating in time, stopping, and beginning anew
you look into me and i feel you from my very core,
we crash into each other like waves to the shore.
