We're alone.
Alone,
This once in a lifetime.
It ought to be meaningful,
but it isn't.
It's empty tonight.
I never told her how I love her.
She must know by now.
Surely she does.
but she says nothing.
As we sit in the darkness
under the stars that shine
oppressing us
with their open brightness.
I'm afraid.
Afraid to scare her off
just telling the truth is a risk.
but I need to.
I can't let things stay this way.
"I love you"
"I love you too."
We move closer over the sodden rocks
I hold her tight in my arms.
Nothing could feel so amazing.
She leans up to kiss me, and I know.
I know I was wrong.
But now, now it doesn't matter.
Because we fit together.
Our lips touch and open,
My hands move longingly
to her curves
just as hers to mine.
We begin to explore the bodies
we dreamt of so often
but glimpsed so seldom.
The stars are no longer oppressive.
The light is welcome,
as is the pleasure of our moment together.
Held in the arms of our lovers,
We are thoroughly entwined
and connected to one another.
If I never leave this moment,
it will still be too soon.
Author notes
It's Empty tonight. I wasn't sure where this was supposed to be, so I put it in the actual poem. ... Oops?

This is sweet. Actually, the beginning almost feels like it strikes home with my girlfriend and I. Well done.
Gioia. -
brilliant.
this has got to be one of the very few pieces of any sort of erotica I've read on this site that is as sensual as it is poetic. you achieved a balance there that many authors fail to grasp, and it worked out very well for you. thank you so much for entering, I really enjoyed your work!

This is beautiful in metaphors, as the imagry really steals the show, as you beging with the opressive sky, and then end with a welcoming one, the write has very well constructed sensuality to it and makes a great outline for a tale. Well told, well written, excelent symbolisim and imagry!!!
