Together We Are One
Rashel Jordan
Shimmering eyes,
Lurch forward with such ferocity,
I feel no fear,
My heart pulses,
My throat closes,
Breathing is hard to manage,
Your lips part,
My body quivers,
I lie here, watching you,
Using my body as a distraction,
While you train,
You ignore,
Control your body and lunge,
I sigh dramatically,
It should be me,
Me training,
Yet I won't,
I'll give you the honour,
The window is open,
Night air washes in,
Encloses my face and contorts my lips,
So I'm so serene that it doesn't look like me,
And he stops,
Finally he stops,
He calls my name,
To hear that word ripped from his lungs,
Scars my mind,
Makes my chin tremble,
And my arms reach out for him,
Frozen, like a marble statue,
Lithe and gorgeous,
Pouting miserably,
Wanting one more lunge,
He strikes,
But not the dummy,
Me,
He dives,
Lands,
Looks up into my eyes,
Dark eyes I could drown in,
Unnerving grin I'm so used to,
I kiss his lips,
We sigh,
We shiver,
Simultaneously,
Sharing our sensations.
Sliding closer together,
Wanting, needing, getting,
We have each other,
Never to be kept apart,
So alike,
So at one,
So willing,
Oh so willing,
I grin,
My lips part,
He reaches again,
Together,
This feeling of being welcome,
Recognition,
Honesty, trust,
Pure-love,
Hold me forever,
Let me feel wanted,
Let me feel loved,
Where, as a child, I could not,
Teach me to be sensitive,
Teach me to feel again,
Hot breath on my face,
Feathery hair beneath my fingers,
Shining eyes the colour of the night,
The room melts away,
You and I,
We are one,
Outside,
Alone,
The two of us belonging to the night.
The wind whistles,
Our bodies tremble,
We're together,
The grass tickles,
The trees groan,
The leaves rustle,
We're together,
In the room again,
Slipping in and out of sanity,
Together, we are one,
And your body is my body,
My body is your body,
Our minds – we share,
Our hearts – we share,
Our eyes – locked,
We kiss again,
Fire erupts in our veins,
And we grasp tighter to each other,
No more training,
More love-making,
Together we are one,
We cannot come undone,
Contact, sparks fly,
Soulmates – what else are we for?
If I can't love you, what is there left to do?
My life would be meaningless without you…
You whisper my name,
I whisper yours,
And your touch drives me wild,
I lurch forward,
Our fingers intertwine,
Our souls flow out to meet,
We're in our minds,
Not inside,
Not outside,
Not belonging to fiction or reality,
Belonging to each other,
Together we are one,
Apart we are a score unmarked,
Together we are one,
And we cannot come undone.
