first time

your coolness feels fresh

against my skin tonight

as the sky quakes

around us in shades of grey,

flashes of white

and the dark engulfs us,

and I feel safe with you

in our candle-lit nervousness.

the rain against the windows --

small bullets of beauty --

drowns out the

harshness of my heart's

beating at my chest.

but my breathing is heavy

so you lull me to a calmness

with your fingers grazing

down my cheek and your

whispers sinking in my ears.

and I let you sink into me.

your slow and smooth strides

make me quiver and

my smile shakes

when our stormy soundtrack

picks up the pace,

so I grip onto you and

paint your body across mine

(with no space left between).

we breathe together,

collide and collide as we

slide together in the fervor

of our first coition

but as familiar lights

brightly shine through rain-

specked windows,

we both know

there's no time to finish.

and as we rip ourselves

from one another

in a heated, heart-heaving haste,

I know you're the only

one I'd want to

hold my innocence.
