Chains and Things

She took small steps.
The soft October moonlight
Beamed through the blinds
Creating a black and white
Slide show on her naked body.

Outside,
the gentle breeze
Rustles fall leaves
Around the deck

Quietly,
And with the grace
Of a dancer that she was,
She slid her long body
Next to mine.

Her dark skin,
Standing in stark contrast
To my clean white sheets,
Moved against mine with
A need that couldn’t be denied.

Us together broke rules.
Us together knew none.

On a cool fall evening
The moonlight smiled
On two people.

Two sets of arms reaching out.
Two hearts sharing
Two lonely people finding
In the ecstasy of the union,
A haven from the differences
This world would chain them with.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this...
you address in a sensual and tender way how differences can be overcome and how the chains of "convention" are not always enough to keep us from finding refuge with someone who shares...


enjoyed!
