You discover them
One by one
Climbing up the walls
Searching for something to satisfy their hunger
They gather there
Smelling the sweetness calling them
They see their chance
A long journey has taken place
Will they reach their target
Or will they be wiped out
Only to start over again
These paths I walk all lead to snow
White embankments filled with fluff
Masking the truth underneath
Holding us back three feet deep
When will they release me
Keeping me here like a prisoner
Don’t they see I want out
The ground is frozen
I can’t move my fibers of life
Shake, shake me out of this frozen tundra
I’m itching for a new beginning

We arrange to meet in that room,
The one with the two armchairs,
A bed, and a shower
We swap breathless monologues
Then we begin
The unbuttoning of my blouse,
Kisses going down my neck,
Hands upon my chest,
Our bodies speak in thrusts.
I’ve been waiting for a moment like this
Eyes locked tight, mouths open,
Fingers tracing every curve,
Feeling breathless and alive,
Unlocking the magic in every nerve
These are the moments we cling to
As we pull each other closer
There is no other truth:
We could ride this wave forever
Sweat dripping
Our bodies in overdrive
We move slow and then fast
We don’t want this moment to pass
We barely know each other at all
But we know enough;
Just what we like,
Where we want to be touched
Fingers moving up and down my spine
Legs lifting, searching
For what’s between the thighs
I feel your urgency
We’re ready for this surge of electricity
We linger in the afterglow
Our bodies red
Hands moving slow
Soaking in the emotion
This…
This is how we begin
