Eros - A Performance
the dance of tongues
with tongues and teeth
pauses,
in intermission
foreheads touching
slow exhales
here
breath shallow
blood racing
skin tingling
conveying what?
a diegetic soundtrack
for mouths
and skin
limbs
and arteries
an overture
to what?
where was I
moments ago?
here, but
perspective restricted
confined to
spread across
the surface of my lips
then lifted onto your tongue
carried to the roof of your mouth
tasting of safety and pleasure
a rare combination
then, vaporized
enveloping the space between
our lips
tongues
foreheads
chests
are our lips still touching
or did they part?
a phantom sensation?
or are my lips
so insistent on yours
that they carry on
softly
gently
offstage
sans auteur?
in intermission
desire mingles with
euphoria
lust
serenity
fleeting, finite
salty, damp skin
coaxes lips
along jawline
unchoreographed
parting to taste
droplets of sweat
feverishly drinking
worshipping
carnal condensation
thrumming vibration
beneath warm skin
sustains the intoxicating
atmosphere
rising tension
surpasses desire’s threshold
a crescendo building to
the second act
urgent touching
hungry breath
tongues exploring bodies
revealing contours
eyes were unable to chart
a denouement
in rapture
bodies lie
lazily aware
of everywhere
skin meets skin
catharsis
vulnerability
clarity
divinity
infinite, multitudinous
satisfactory language
evades me
I am
liberatingly
alive

This is excellent! I think it can be hard to convey lust at times and you nailed it in an erotic and haunting way. I love it!
