Urge Words

We are human 

you and I 

we have inside of us

an urge 

that will not

can not 

die

it is a whisper

in it's

infancy 

barely born 

when it first stirs

my surface

a nervous chill

trailing down my spine

when you and I 

meet eyes

and this spark ignites

day in 

and out 

it moves through me 

getting bold 

loud 

begging to be 

let out 

and I falter and fight 

for control 

but it's so 

that I can barely stand 

I can tell 

that you hear it 

that you feel it 

how it thrives on our nearness

I take note of the ache 

at the back 

of your throat 

when you notice 

my shirt slip slowly

off my shoulder 

I see your jaw 

hard and tight

fighting that urge

secretly liking that urge 

and I'm nearly undone

by it's clear and honest

promises

I need only be open 

it need only be spoken

let me 

set me 

free from this 

let me let you 

be the rest 

of the sentence

be the best 

of my endings

offer you 

a softer view

the urge presses 

the insides of my mouth

teeth bite down 

on lips 

wet for this 

the call rings against me

tempts me to take you 

break you 

and your hardness 

on me 

over me 

lower me down 

in prayer 

at the altar of us

of this need

this urge must be

in the room

right now 

right, how else could the air

be this charged

how can it be this hard 

to breathe 

deep deep deep 

please try to reach it 

lets forget the rest of the world

we’ll be you and me 

and instincts 

clothes scattered 

with our sensibilities 

take this 

take me 

press, play, push hard

like the wall at my back 

all 

slow 

go

and then fast 

feverish frenzy 

till the last 

bit of energy that we make 

fades 

falls

free

from our mouths

our waists 

glistens 

on skin 

the perfection of sweat 

at the backs of knees 

wet as the last of me 

as we wonder

how that could’ve been 

our first

and we shiver as

chills kiss and wants reemerge 

yes, yes I hear it

let us revisit 

the urge
