Acoustic Kisses
He would touch me like rock’n’roll.
loud breath vibrating on my skin
blood pumping through his veins
beat thumping so loud his ears were clogged
with notes growing faster
and faster
louder
and louder
hands shaking
veins quaking
every movement so electric
that I forgot to feel it
songs ringing so loud in my ears
I couldn’t really hear the notes
music running so fast through skin
I couldn’t really feel the rhythm
His electricity jolted my heart
but never really touched it.
and he’d hit that final note with a
gasp of air
and wave of harmony resonating through his body
crashing down beside me
ecstasy pouring from his veins like a hallelujah chorus
while I lay exhausted
recovering
from the shock.
But you,
you kiss me like an acoustic guitar.
chords breaking the silence
with a harmony so pure
even the air holds it’s breath.
you touch me like a piano
fingers running up the scale
pouring the beauty of music
into my ears like honey
until my head is spinning
with the sound of you
notes blending like a dance
a slow, slow dance.
