Intertwined

the rain falls outside unabated
the guardian from unwanted intrusion
drowning sweet little whispers
of pure pleasure and muffled bliss
that manages to escape
from our lips that only part
to catch some air or dig somewhere

now as the music continues to waft
through the room, the only witness
to how our bodies defied its rhythm
refusing to acquiesce in the imposed decadence
exploring, searching in wild abandon
unrestrained, oblivious, nonchalant
freed in the newfound contours
that prefigured the inevitable union
of two souls that seemed to have spent eternity
waiting for that missing half
until that spell is broken
and the elixir erupts from its precious vessel
transporting us both into ineffable euphoria
and back to nothingness
as quickly as we found it.

then, it happened.

the stark reality of passion feigned
and love borrowed wrestled its way in.
did you even notice the invisible welling
of tears that signalled the end?
did you even hear the rain stopping
permitting my unencumbered exit?
did you even see how i planted
my feet on my every step
that took me farther away from you?
co'z you're not just about to give him up
not that i asked for it.
not even once, seahawk!

so, with that one last kiss
our desperate attempt to search
the answer to the mystery
of wanting to cling to something
we can never own,
i saw you flying
to the arms where you snugly belong
while i send myself forth
knowing that never again
shall our bodies be...
