Where Control Slips

You stand there,
and everything inside me
falls into the same position as you.
I breathe you in—
your scent, a singular scent,
one my body understands without asking.
You look into my eyes,
and everything buried within me
starts to rise, untamed.
The closer you come,
the more control slips from my hands,
as I surrender my balance to you.
I feel…
so alive
I couldn’t lose this,
not even by an inch.
I love the way, gently,
you caress me,
your tongue passing softly
as if erasing old traces from my past.
When your desire presses forward,
it breaks me open slowly,
like a door
that was never fully closed.
And when emotion spills
across fragments of time,
you don’t just take my body—
you take my heart
without ever forcing it.

Beautiful love poem, Marie - very sensually expressed with lots of tenderness. I like title. I enjoyed last two lines. Keep writing. Sending blessings to Haiti from South Africa. X.
