Embrace

oh, to be in your arms again!

i stood close
breathing your oxygen
sharing souls through our eyes

energy rose in me
merged, pulsing, with yours
our lips did not meet
but between us: palpable attraction formed a bauble
round ball tossed forth and back
the boundary between my body and yours,
a volleyball net for this game of delight and restraint
the deep sensuality of:
a hug

necessity separated us
we broke our embrace
letting the ball fall and break
i took my pieces, hid them away inside.
like mercury they rounded themselves
rolled all over me
bounced with warm glow
indicative dot to the sing-along of my soul
bopping out my anticipation, my desire
still plays now in remembrance

oh, it was sexy when we kissed.
but to be in your arms again!
