Just Once

You came over me like a fever
(feels like I've been coming down with you
forever) and then finally
you were there
at my door
a wordless kiss
you took my hand
and spirited me away
a blanket, the moon and stars
the hot, sweet night
that smelled of passion
and you
like giant tidal waves
you
and I was your shore
ceaseless, relentless
pattern as old as time
and so much more than right
your lips moving at my ear
all the right words you said
your hands on my face
the low groans
feral, the intensity
of the dance and the wet heat
of our bodies in the dusky air
I was in heaven
I was your angel
you were my universe
just once.
