Before
by Cynthia Howton
Seconds before his hips pulled me close
I felt his heat
Reminded me of home
Of summer’s splash In July’s high day
Of melting ice cream interrupt afternoon’s play
A flash recalling my joy mingling together
His hands overall
Briefly his breath released his tension fast
My hips friction shift from left to right
As my pulse racing higher
our legs squeeze around tighter
His hands find my back remove my veil
Caressing skin warm and well
Weakly then my mind’s asleep
On top of his body my emotions shake
All resolved to finished what began
Our friction rising
We clasp each other’s hands
I close my eyes as his face comes near
I’m remembering this scent
Of golden rays dancing irreverent
The August evening rushing by
While sprinkling waters mingled fresh leaves and sighs
His odor sweet as air, repeat, as he came closer to me with care
The first time his lips pressed against my skin my reaction swollen freight
For in the moment fear set in, was this for me or him
I asked softly, quivering, do you want this as much as I
His soft lips touched my left cheek gentle, I let go of fierce
Insecure
For his action caused no coincidence
He needed me I was made sure
