some small secret

It began with dancing,
tropical tunes to a small room,
jazz to snare me close,
white cotton trousers
somehow crisp in the night.

I wore Indian cotton,
hoping to catch the breeze,
and you caught me instead,
one arm around my waist,
the other ready to land,
rum singing soft
as i felt the print of your hand.

Dizzy and delighted,
the music gave way to
some softer tune they would croon,
something drugging to make my head
drop to your shoulder
while you pressed to me that first moment,
seeking some smaller secret.

I felt you then, tender and surging,
and it was our first real dance
sweet to handsome,
all my secrets glistening under cotton gauze,
all your heat ready to leap
if I made my fingers dance too.

You paused just once,
to find the yes in my eyes,
then took my lips too quickly
for me to even guess
that what passed next would be more
than some small secret.
