I'm touched, I breathe. Heavy and deep. Heart racing, body heating. Two statues- longing, escaping stone minds. Sounds escaping closed mouths. I'm kissed, I breathe. Shallow, short breaths- indicative of passionate anticipation. Cold lips on warm skin, creating bursts of color and rays of light. Leaves fall away and I'm exposed, golden flowers hardening from cool air. Eyes close. I breathe. Faster as motives become transpicious. Uncertainty is replaced by surrender. I breathe, I welcome connection. Statues come to life. Eyes open- wanting to take in all there is to offer.
