As She Takes Him

April 20, 2004

I close my eyes
and see him
bent toward me,
offering his lips.
I pretend I grab him
and pull him closer.

An echo of touch
rolls through my body.
A fleeting feeling
that his tongue
is rolling over mine -

as she kisses him.

She takes him,
sucks him in, deeply,
and I feel it drive
down into my own
engulfing desires.

With everything high
and tight and burning,
aching deep inside,
his unspoken love
chants for me, alone.

Then the pangs
of his mounting waves
inside my body rise
and his pleasure tide
washes to my shores.

We are now lost
in just the sensation
and so forgotten who
is the "I" in this thing.
