Alone Together (Free verse) by lynnkyle
So alone
together. His hand
slides from mine, his fingers
stroke my face.
So soft are his lips,
so warm is his breath. His hand
slides across my cheek, his eyes
search mine.
We are
together, we are
together in this moment.
Together in the night,
the night
of mist and coolness.
Do we feel cool?
We feel warm,
we feel hot.
We feel
together.
Stroking, sliding, surrounded, swallowed
by the night mist. Alone
together.
I speak, I say
Should we, he says
We should. He says
Yes and I say
Yes and we say yesses and yesses.
So that's how it goes, how it is.
In the mist,
in the night, alone
together.
Softly, sweetly, hotly in the cool night, yes.
After, he says
We did, Did we. And I say
Yes and I smile. He smiles too.
He says,
stroking my face, he says
Again.
Yes I say,
Again yes,
and again,
alone
together, we say
Yes.
