Love Poem: One Night

One Night

One word will take me there,
One soundless gaze
One glimmer on your lips
One inhalation
One feeling
One night...

We breathe eachother
We fall together
As space between us closes
As the language of our desires
Reach our intwined inspirations,
Silence is shamed
Do not doubt it-
Do not fear it-
Our love is loud between us
Natural, fleshy, grand and brave

Sparks shoot off in my brain,
Spiralling down to my heart's core
Chemicals combine
Cells are nurtured, 
I feel your painful need
Expanding my chest's tingles,
My lungs working for a new kind of oxygen,
The heat within raging and possessing me

Well and long do we all deny
What our very bodies battle for
No more, no more!
I will not shy away from your caress
Nor tear myself empty from your arms
I shall let my deepest oceans rise
In your moonlit light
The  restless gravity of your love
Pulling the tides

Yes, one night,
One sensation
One divine right
Through many sighs,
Through the hot glow of Destiny's skies,
We shall die and be made infinite
