Gently

Deanna Levine
 

 

The strength of your body on mine
Not heavy, but not light
The way you slid the sheets off
Gently studying my thighs with your lips
Your hand on the tail of my back
Moving gently back and forth
A stroke of patience
Gently
The wait for this has been passionless
You handle this with care
Gently running your hands thru my hair
Along my face
Expression runs high
Soft sighs fill the space
The empty space all around us
Our presence fills this void
Your hands rest on my waist
My hands on your chest
My hands on your shoulders
Your hands embracing me
On you
The bed is all we have
And we fill this space with our bodies
Tumbling, gently back and forth
Gently
Our eyes meet
Simplicity extracts
Gentle sounds rising back and forth
Between our bodies
Gently exchanging from both
I lie my head on your chest
You hold me
Squeeze me
Everything’s going to be alright
Gently
You say
