Shower Time

Hot water
A closed door
A rejected suggestion
a lonely breakfast

then

a knock on the bathroom wall
a tentative walk through the house
an unlocked door
a hand extended from behind steamed glass.

Kisses wet
Kisses deep
bare skin
slippery with soap
lips, slippery with desire
chests together
arms entwined
tongues at play.

the heat builds
the water flows
she takes me in hand
then turns me around

a warm full chest
pressed against a grateful back
arms wrap around
then hand follow suit

Loving strokes
urging
instruction taken without offense
hardness grows
urgency abounds
two hands on cold tiles
feel spread in anticipation

more
harder
longer
faster
whispers compete with noisy spray

a cry echos against hard tile
don't stop
please, please
don't ever stop

long skisses
deep breaths
the water stops
an offered towel
reciprocation mentioned
accepted for another time
this was just for you

glass cleaned
towels hung
bodies dressed
a day well begun
