...closer

look closer
focus.
what do i see?
a strand of hair
across the cheek.
a freckle
indistinct and blurred
she's not all abstract perfection.
she's real.
a lash of the eye
i'm making a wish.
we are one
we know no boundaries
close, so close.
her face is mine too.
a blink of her eye
is no longer a blink-and-miss event
she is beauty.

how to describe this moment
WHY to describe this One Moment?

i wish this never ends
i wish this one moment
becomes a lifetime
of lying so close
we can't tell each other apart.

a strange fragrance.
the smell of tireless exhaustion
the smell of something sensously dirty
two haywire tongues
attacking damp chins
a wet cheek here
a bit lower lip there
i can almost smell her dirty thoughts

what is happening?
look a little closer
stick to her
suggestions of aggression
i never want them to end

inside each others' mouths
a feeling unfelt before
touching each other
in the most invisible of spaces

and pause.

look at her.
eyes out of focus
close, so close.
try to sharpen my view
i want to understand
but the sheer beauty of it all
evades me.
divine surreal and magical
that's you.

and i'm the one
so close to you
all over you
inside you
i'd like to say 'thanks'
but your lips hold down mine
as if to say, 'don't...'

blurred indistinct unfocused
close enough to dissolve our separateness
can i keep lying here all my life?
