Analysis of Unwelcomed Interlude
Graceful breaths, gliding across my face like a silken scarf;
Encasing my thoughts, delving into the depths of ecstasy.
Mortality amuses itself as my breath is repeatedly stolen; I bask in it.
I watch as playful dewdrops, together skate across her skin and merge, as if in mimicry.
Their path of exploration leads me to pursue their trail.
Breaths deepen; gusts of spasmodic praises greet an anxious dancer,
as nasal hums suffuse the air with a refrain of bliss.
Every rhythm, every touch, each kiss made as if it were the last.
Days will feel like a painful eternity apart, which a quick glance at a naked bed mockingly evokes.
I will patiently wait.
