Regret

Trembling fingers reach soft caress of flushed cheeks

Hands tumbling through ruffled hair snag on panting breaths and heaving chests

Lips sewn into pounding lines erratically beating across each other’s necks

Clenched

Goosebumps rise on roused arms

Shivers delectable vibrations arousing consuming sinful

Thump thump of hearts so loud they muffle the sounds

Of tearing clothes and noisy inhales

Worshipping at the altar of glistening pleasure

Mouths locked

Lips puffy

Tongues fighting a battle in which everyone is victorious

Heavy breaths and tangled limbs and heat radiating

Burning so good on wet skin

Eyes meeting electrifying currents of shared secrets

Floating in between

Time freezes momentarily fleeting

Sweet agony of completing this union of two souls

Temporary retreat from reality interrupted

Sweat sticky solidifying in cold pools of washed up desire

Eyes no longer meeting rather fleeing

Satiation granted with no permanency

Spent

A miasma of lingering questions and unspoken replies

All played out internally

Feet slip into shoes slide across the room and out the door

Never looking back

The whispered, “do you want to stay the night?”

Drowned out by the roar of the engine

Nonverbal response to an unheard request

Regret
