This First Kiss (leaves of Unrequitable)

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 forces of magnets
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 ripples 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 curling waves...
