I am waiting

how long can we hold this moment?
for each pulse in my chest
that pushes life throughout me
I breathe you in

you summon the electricity
flipped on and heated bulb
nearly too hot to touch
so I can light you

there is no weakness
how firmly you hold me
still allowing room to stretch
across your body

sweet liberation
pounding out the dents
to smooth each other
welded by passion

and in my mind
we exist alongside
perfection in our union
still awaiting permanence

come for me
before the balance breaks
and spills the ocean
let us capture our possibilities
