a time to touch

Words spoken urgent after velvet,
born of a blaze made by minds,
take you to a place
where pleasure imagined
becomes instead
pleasures remembered,
when desire cuts dadoes
dovetailing need and regard.

Dare I, dare you---
double dare to stunt doubles
will any of it earn its place
in a small corner of real time?

One heart shouting a yes,
dressed splendidly in anticipation,
cursing the fingers as too clumsy
the other wary yet wondered
if now is indeed the time to touch
given to a place
where fingers catch and breath is caught,
when hands can interlace.

I would be pleasures remembered,
if only for this joy of mine---
the skin you knew,
the time we took
is just the touching of our time.
