contemplativeOur Need
We begin this mutual consort
arms wrapped, bodies grasped
breath held in expectation
for the drop felt by both
excitement on the edge of self
shared with a willing companion
the outside world put on hold
no others are part of the show
close enough to feel the breath
heat radiating in quick response
gasp from the mouth half closed
flex with the effort blessed
long enough to fill the world
if only until the move is done
to hasten it would be a crime
just enough to share a smile
bodies pressed in our effort
nearness ours in shared consent
others look, it matters not
fulfilling this is our need.
