I stepped into the space trembling
For answers I could not dare to
Listen. The ecstatic southern
Sun was sweeping the floor and you
Were there. Your body like a Sphinx
Was throwing riddles in the hush.
Hesitantly I fell towards
Your soft skin and your gaze turquoise
Astonishing like a newborn sky.
But I drank the unspoken words
Of your hands, I cherished the taste
Of your weight, and the smell of our
Sweat. Your drumming heart, the strings of
Your breath were singing an aria
Unknown to the worlds but to me.
Our bodies matched like distant
Chords and each movement unfolded
An improvised melody of
Grace, and lightness, and struggle, and
Care. I could neither leave nor stop,
Only hide beneath the veil of
Your gold bronze hair, or in the cave
Of your limbs closing on me. We
Left the six directions behind.
We, went to a place of surprise.
I sunk in the ocean of your
Unending presence. Until Time
Resumed that awkward march towards
Tomorrow.
Did we go away?
