Steam Rising Hearts Burning

You there I sense your peril
Me here I share your sorrow
Standing there I touch your face
Put an arm around your waist
You press your cheek against my shoulder
I am mute then start to stutter
As your tears roll down your nose
I stroke you hair begin to mutter
Silenced though by your kiss
A lifetime spent
Dreaming this
Intakes of breath
I bite your lip
Your fingers claw into my hip
Clinging to one
Each and other
Lips pressed tight
Our hearts devour
Calling and fearing and
Reaching and yearning
My tears and sweat all down my back
Your eyes all bright with
Intent attack
The searing heat between us
Illuminating us
Encapsulating us
Together
Steam rising
Hearts burning
