Unrequitable, part 4

But wait! This won't do, it's too plain and simple
I need for this first kiss to be extra special!
So come on,
Take my hand, and I'll lead you inside
To the crackling fire and a soft blanket pile
And I'll show you a game that I've wanted to try:
Kneel down on the floor, palms to front,
    facing me
Close your eyes and we'll get
    just as close as can be
Without touching! Held apart by force!
Can we feel without touch?
Close our eyes but still see?
Let the world fall away now
    lift us drifting in space
Let's be nothing but us now
    mind to mind, face to face
We're both ends of a magnet
In suspended attraction; in separate union
Like a moon and a planet
Or like empty bookends at imperfect attention
Weaving and wavering and savoring the tension
Of bodies that almost but then not quite meet
And each near-miss quivers with tingles of heat
As your breath shudders rhythmicly, surf-like on mine
Humidly hinting a warm musky sweetness
Thrilling my senses like fine subtle wine
With its whisper of innermost intimate secrets
That draws me in closer and closer until
I can't stop myself, and our parted mouths meet
Lightly at first, dry from breathing, yet firm
Then softening, turning, to match curve to curve
Then harder and wetter and slicker and faster
As the giving-in gains the more dominant power
And quicker than flickers of flames races outward
Consuming like paper the forces that part us
While attractions we felt all along that remain
Suck us into each other like great surging waves:

    Waves that start out as ripples on separate shores
    Waves that swell with the need to achieve
        Something More
    Waves that crest every dam for just one moment's sake
        arching higher with heightening anticipation
    Waves that find and combine headlong forces and break
    Into thousands of sky-flung, moon-shimmered sensations
    And collapse then in undulant, up-heaving wakes
    
    Shifting, uplifting real dreams, right or wrong
        Sending wave after wave, waking song upon song
            Blending bright Looks and Feelings
                Going on, on and on...
