Closer

Closer 

The air breaks heavy with want,
your body arched against mine,
our breaths tangled like fire and smoke. 

Every inch of you is mine tonight.
Your wrists straining against my hold,
your back curving beneath my grip, 
your cries breaking every sound before it escapes. 

And still, I feel every shiver, every quiver, 
your skin alive beneath my hands, 
your body responding to my relentless 
weight, 
I press into you, harder and harder, 
and your moans spill like fire into my 
mouth. 

Your legs wrap around me, tight and 
unrelenting, 
your skin slick with heat and need, 
I drag you deeper, mark you where I want, 
and the sound you make is mine to take. 

I take the parts of you 
that no one else will ever know, 
and I brand them with my heat. 
Even your silence is mine to command, 
and still I want more 

I pull you harder into me, 
your body trembling beneath my hands, 
every gasp a surrender I claim. 
Every inch of you belongs to me. 

somewhere between taking and giving, 
between your breath and mine, 
the night remakes us both- 
not yours, not mine, 
but something neither of us can escape.
