Dream Words

I have seen us 

In my mind

Already

In every 

Way 

In any way

And my invitation stands

At the foot 

Of that bed

Where you leaned in 

And said

Those words

The first

In so long

The hurt 

Is so strong

That voice

Melts my measured

Reserve 

Softens my nerves

Your eyes, your hands,

your mouth, demand

all of me

all at once my

heart is tight

taught

caught

in my throat

where my voice

barely denotes

that I am in fact

intent

on meeting the next

few hours

of our

night

of us right under

the covers

the roof, the stars

each other

I mean I’m here

And you’re

Near enough to touch

And I hope,

Hope

Hope

That I am brave

Enough

To do this

To try it

The way you have described it

You

Go then

To open buttons

One by one

Sliding

Out

Their

Slots

The air between us

So

Intensely

Hot

I am trying

To remember

How to breathe

When your fingers graze

my skin

as that hand

slips

slowly

in

an Oh escapes my lips

my legs just barely give

and somehow

despite the heavy heat

I feel 

chills 

trail 

down my spine 

as my shirt 

goes over shoulders

heads

somewhere over

on the other side

of some other time

that I can't seem 

to get

my head around

how 

have you managed

to move us 

to the bed 

without my notice

without my clothes its

like magic 

a spell you have cast 

we, you and I 

on our last 

seconds of the sun 

its goes down

and you do and I know 

that I am... done

you taste 

the sugar as it melts 

from me 

from the heat

of these explosions

these good God moments

the moans fit

all the corners of my mouth

my mind

this arching spine

your name 

falls 

from 

me 

like the sweetness

coming

coming

coming closer 

closer

over 

over 

no... no... no.. 

I can't control 

the broken pieces

that I'm becoming

done done done 

my mind is running

racing 

chasing 

the center 

of 

this atom 

blinding

bright across my sight

skin is shining

steaming

gleaming 

going going 

GONE

ragged breathing 

heart is speeding 

you hold me 

close 

calm

consoling 

you wipe tears from my eyes 

as I

take a deep... breath... in 

and still my shaking limbs

I'm in the worst way 

for you 

and who 

I hope you'll be 

cause I have seen 

us already in my mind

and dreams are good 

but now 

I know it's time

for more than the thoughts 

I find you in 

I'm ready for you now 

I'm awake 

let us 

begin
