The Space in Between

Calamitous vacuum

sucking and cold

into that dark water

I willingly strode

Extending the hand

you reluctantly took

falling into my arms

as we trembled and shook

Tremours subsiding

look into my eyes

shedding crystalline tears

like an evergreen cries

Softly you cradle

my face in your palm

then turn up my chin

so gentle and calm

Knees quivering now

the intractable swoon

regain my lost bearing

searching for the moon

Tenderly lower

your lips onto mine

probe to taste sweetly

the effect is sublime

Shakily breathing

into my ear

the sound of my name

urgent and clear

An ecstatic moan

is torn from your throat

our passion inflamed

for a moment, I gloat

For sexual power

energy I wield

it grips and inflames

as our hearts are both healed

Arms winding around

you pull me in tight

and ardently whisper

“tell me this is alright”

“Don’t stop”, is my answer

I open my eyes

to see your face smiling

with gentle surprise

Wander away to

a newly made place

the space in between

where we savour and taste
