Once wasn’t enough-
that kiss will last me
through the night
but I want a lifetime
of your lips pressed
against mine.
Once wasn’t enough-
that dance will last me
until I wake but I want
more just this give and
take, my heart didn’t just
beat, it quaked.
Once wasn’t enough-
that roll and thrust
between the sheets
locking lips and joints
where our hips meet
no one else can satisfy
or give me what I
want, it’s the caress
of your body to
mine that haunts.
Once wasn’t enough-
I need to feel your breath
on my neck as we lay
in the dark folded in each
others arms sheltered away
from the storm and the world’s harms
give me enough time to melt into you
say you’ll stay until love is through.
Once wasn’t enough-
the words that rolled
smoothly off your tongue
blessed this night that
became so long
caught up in each other
just you and me –
some would call this
bondage but we’ll call it
being set free.
