The Dark Woods
I saw you standing in the shadows
like some femme fatal
Except you’re a boy
I shouldn’t mess around with
Your lips look so full and soft
my eyes zeroed in
I walked the tight rope
between the real world
and wherever it is you
take me
I felt slightly disembodied
hearing part of myself saying
no
Stop
this is a line you do not cross
I looked at the soft wave of
your dark hair
the clear bright blue of your eyes
Any guilt washed away
when I heard you laugh
I was too mesmerized to care
Most nights, when I close my eyes
I go walking with you
in the woods
I lean back against a tree
You step closer to me
We look at each other
a beat or two
before you lean in to kiss me
your hands cool as they
slip under
my shirt, touching my back
body pressing into mine
Our breathing is ragged
I am so aware
all of a sudden
of the
rise and fall
Our hands are in constant motion
sweeping touches
fingers grasping
You enter me
my back grinds against the bark
Bump! Bump! Bump!
You whisper my name
while I call out to G-d
