Closer
How much closer can we want to be to one another?
I move and you move closer
You move and I move closer still
Legs, arms and most of our body parts
twisted to fit the natural curvature of our love
Fits of passion
interrupting the reading of books
Fits of passion
cutting sentences short
Fits of passion
ending cycles of sleep
The bed, secretly sharing in our lust of devouring desire
Waiting as it always does
for the next chance of you bringing me close
so close
and even closer still
