I Have Begun
by Joanne Marisa Leow
i have begun
to truly remember
(oh) your hands
running
sl
slo
slow
slowly
across my back
and then grasping
(gently)
my arm across
to hold (me)
(me) enveloped
engulfed (?) in your long
longing
embrace
Then
that pause
cheeks barely brushing
the hesitation
I placed my ear on your chest
to listen to your aliveness
morevividmorevital
beatingsosofast
looking upwards
at your downturned
face
smiling ever so sadly
you pushed the hair
from my face
"resisting
temptation"
but (no) it shouldn't make
a difference
but (oh) it has
(so soft)
your lips
against mine
straining
upwards upwards
downwards downwards
onestolenshiningyesmomentofbliss
thinking(wrong)
feeling(soright).
