Poem
by Seleya O'Brien

Our eyes are locked, we share one heart

I can not seem to break free.

My arms ache, your lips part.

The world moves like the sea.

We stand still...forever it seems.

Time does not exist.

We share for a moment secret dreams.

But...we must resist.

My eyes pull away, our hearts become our own.

I feel at once the whispered pain that screams through the night.

I suppress the eager burning with a soft and weary moan.

I turn from you. I flee from you. I hide from you, my light.

You call my name. I hear your voice. I hear your aching need.

I can not stop. I will not stop. I do not have control.

I am flame. I am fire. I burn and can not heed.

I taste your smell, I am your heat...I am lost in your soul.

I fight myself, I battle vainly, crying out in torment

I throw myself into the night, landing in the cool grass, wrapped in it’s embrace.

I am lost in the hazel of your eyes, in your cool and untamed scent.

All I am, all I should be, is lost. I see nothing but the beauty of your face.

I feel you near, hear your breath, hard and husky from giving chase.

You throw yourself into the dewy grass, your arms pulling me near.

I am stronger and I resist, but I can not resist your taste.

Your mouth on mine, your breath is mine, thee are mine. I no longer fear.

Under your moon, under your spell. I can not deny.

I did not know life before you and now I breathe at last.

I hold you close, closer still, without you I die.

My mouth on yours, my breath is yours, I am yours, at last.
