Tryst

TRYST

 by Clark James Asuy

The moon ascends to light the pitch dark sky

I now see your beauty which besets me by and by

To hold you close is my heart's desire

With me, let wishing stars conspire

As we lie side by side, abed

Words aren't needed to be said

We snuggle closer and feel the heat

Warmth and fragrance, dangerously sweet

I bury my face under your hair

Fire kindles in our love's lair

I touch your forehead with my lips

Missing heartbeats, rhythmic skips

Our eyes behold each other, we see fire

We hear a distant drumming, we hear love's lyre

Our noses meet, your scent intoxicates my soul

We're fragments of the universe but together we are whole

I gently touch your cheek and I see you blush

You tried to speak, my eyes said hush

I then kiss you fully on the lips

Heat heightens, sanity seeps

I reach your neck and you tilted it for inspection

We're going too far with these mad sensations

My lips brush your nape, I feel you shiver

We should be stopping the flow of the river

But before we get lost in the vortex of ecstasy

A grim reality douses our brief insanity

Someone waits for you in an empty house

And tomorrow, I'll be one with my spouse
