enigma

so the alchohol went
straight to my skin
my flesh was alive
impatient wreckless
you greeted me with
your lips and i fell 
into your foreign touch
your eyes heavy and
more beautiful than
dreams could ever tell
we tore into each other
ripping down pretenses
plummeting fast toward
delicious chaos 
we moved together 
flying into the 
hedonistic realm of
self-gratification 
and you reached for me
and you felt me reaching
my vision blurred but i
could recognize each
strand of your beauty
and i rose to meet you
your skin on fire 
beneath my touch
my hair fell down around
your face like a curtain
and for a moment all i 
saw was you
then dawn came 
rushing in too quickly 
met by a gentle drizzly fog
frantic lips tangled together 
desperately clinging to 
the last moments
of night
