Reverie of a One Night Stand

Tonight is yours
Starlight caresses our molten forms
As sweat beads dangle from hair strands
Contemplate their existence
And jump
Freefall into flesh
Writhing in pleasure
Then roll down to their ultimate destiny
In the sanctity of your sheets
Which feel strange
But familiar
To my naked skin

Guarded whispers escape tongues
Filling the air with words sweet and foreign
That intermingle with our combined aroma
To set free trapped souls
Caged by passions unheeded

You think of he
I of another
And we become each other's fantasy
As the moon guides the ebb and flow of our embrace

Soft words are eventually taken hostage
By louder moans
Animalistic in their desire to be heard
Over the fatal finger of daybreak

And then

You lie on your back
I on your arm
And sleep nudges me awake
To say goodbye and leave
To forget your name
But never your face
