Slowly, poured into the room as we drink it up,
like honey for our ears.
I get drunk on everything about you,
Are you, bottle shaped to hold,
The viscous music filling us up ever so slowly?


Almost off beat, almost the same rhythm,
Almost perfectly in sync with the bass inside us.

We are syrup being poured out
From the composers metronoming fingertips,
We endlessly crash with each other,
making our own music,
following the rhythm
As we reach our destination,
The narrow cup on the bottom.
But it isn’t about filling the same space in the end.
Its about the ride down, free falling.
We are the new instruments to this old song.

Placing my hand here sends a slow, gooey, jellylike
Visible vibration through you; almost as if you are dancing
To the music I’m producing on your body.
You are my living, breathing, dancing guitar.
You produce beautiful music,
I play your sensitive skin sensually, so slowly, so in sync it seems
As if you receive my strum almost instantly.
But we both know it feels like an eternity for the music
To reach our ears when it comes out of us.
Its not about the noise that is heard,
Nor is it about the music that is played through us,
It is about practicing an instrument that learns from us
As we learn from it.

Our hearts have their own pace.
But now, even our red blood cell wants their turn
Closer to the skin, to feel this music being made.
But they are holding their breath, much like us.
So they rush back to the heart,
who is drumming them to his beat,
and take another deep breath,
So they can rush to the fingertips
To almost catch a glimpse of the music being made outside.

My senses are becoming confused.
My eyes can hear the candlelight
Dripping off your bare body.
My skin can taste your lips,
The closet it can get to a kiss back.
I thank all of them because without them
I could never hear, see, taste, our music together.

Each time is almost like a new song.
Or is it that we forgot the words
and the notes to the last one?
Still we are the same instruments,
Just with more experience than the last time
And less experienced than the next time.

Fantastic, and loved these lines:

Still we are the same instruments,
Just with more experience than the last time
And less experienced than the next time.


Welcome to Passions and just a little thing I noticed for your revision.  I think you mean closest, in this line
The closet it can get to a kiss back.

Words are weapons, toss them with care.

I love the word play here. Welcome to PIP! Enjoyed this.
