In the Finding

Watching you as you watch me
both of us
enjoying the unstill,
suspended moments
between thought,
word, action,
question, response.
Intoxicated,
inebriated
with the resonance
of our
pounding,
ever mounting
abyss.

Fanned flames licking,
lingering,
flickering
with this dazzling dance.
Broiling veins full,
willing,
to touch,
to take this chosen chance,
as your moistened moans announce,
you have found, fully,
euphoria,
in the surrounding,
silent soundings
of my
kiss.
