your rough palm cradles my head
my tangled curls spilling thru
your wide caressing fingers
ragged breath caught in my throat
as your eager mouth melts onto my own
my hands at your waist tugging
shirt-tails free of faded jeans
your skin blazing hot to my emboldened touch
every one of your kisses a beginning
an awakening of new joy
how could i regret a single thing
in our lives before
when it brought us here
together
now and always
