Scenes from an evening escapade

Lay down and breathe deep
Arch the small of your back

Let your knees disagree
I'll speak to you in tongues

Te quiero
Te amo

Close your eyes now
And slowly fill your lungs

Once you sat on my lap
I will never forget

how close our bodies felt
the sensation of being near

You looked back at my eyes
I slid my hands around your waist

Subtle moves to onlookers
but to us, oh so clear

Rock your body slowly
as I tell you a story

one without words
but with many a feeling

It will touch you inside
in places you keep hidden

and once they’ve broke open
your emotions will need healing

I stood up slowly
and took you by the hand

We slipped out the back
without a word that we were leaving

What felt like moments later
we made our way inside

Barely closing the door
we dove headlong into evening

You have come a long way
please meet me here again

If you ever need to exhale or cry
I am wont to provide a shoulder

With that look in your eye
and the slight curl of your smile

I hope you come again soon
it’s so warm inside

and the days

just keep getting

colder

away with words
