Slow Burn

Intensely burning

solar flaring

hands reaching

fetters undone

head to toe

skin on skin

all barriers gone

limbs entwined

breathless pulling

fingertips exploring

skin stroking

lips tracing

mouth enveloping

gently swirling

tongue encircling

heartbeats match

tempo racing

a steady simmer

glowing coals

greatest pleasures

to be discovered

sharing how it should

have been all along

his hot breath

her damp skin

the embers rekindle

now they begin

what was long overdue
