What Used To Be.... (Artichokes)

The stuttered stop and start

The fluttering of true hearts

The mist of hot breath on a cold night breeze

The search for moist lips meeting dry with ease


The arms that reach out to pull you closer

The feel of firm body beneath your shoulders

A coming together of two disjointed souls

Who in a moment’s time will no longer be alone


Hands moving in tandem with fingers exploring

Sends white hot streaks of electricity through them

One special touch, a prolonged pause,

The dance begins amidst the noise


Of breathing lungs that gasp for air

and hearts that pound as fast as they dare

emotions quickly rise giving way to passion

While bodies entwined join in certain fashion


The two become one and they move in concert

Melded and molded and covered in moisture

He touches her face, she caresses his lips

As they climb the mountain with nothing but bliss


“I love yous” fill the air as their bodies become taut

For that eternal split second in time knowing what

Comes at the other end of that climb

A release so intense, that it is truly sublime


Bodies lay gasping separate yet pulsing

Drinking in the after effects of their love making

Relaxed in demeanor and in the knowledge that forever

They will stay linked in their love for each other.
