The Lovers
In curlicues of smoke you move
to snake a hand around my throat -
to turn my face to yours so that
our lips brush against each other;
soft satin of your skin, susurrus of
your voice - an aria only we know
the steps to.
Dancing through the empty hallways
of us - this body is an abandoned house
that you've haunted for so long
its forgotten how to be without you.
Gentle lantern light in the window;
radiance of your body next to mine - our
glow in the sapphire dark.
We step through into the bedroom,
our bodies intertwined - shedding the skin
of our disguises until it is just spirit;
what is the body but a barrier to
be broken by your touch? Leave that
shift of a silk shirt billowing behind
as we kiss - lost in the music
of what happens next.
