I\u2019m not going to say much tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014This \u2014I\u2019ll point at us\u2014 this palpable desire between us is the source of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Desire is a translation of love and vice versa \u2014I\u2019ll bite your shoulder\u2014. One cannot exist without the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to talk about how...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014I keep searching through the folds of my brain \u2014I\u2019ll lick your neck and you\u2019ll laugh because it tickles\u2014 for something that exists nowhere except within your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to confess:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014I desire more than your touch or your presence \u2014I\u2019ll give you a kiss\u2014. I desire the words that come out of your mouth when it\u2019s just you and me, I desire your instructions \u2014I\u2019ll run my tongue across your teeth\u2014. I want to place myself in your hands, I want you to take charge of every particle of me and learn everything that exists beyond the limits of my form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014I don\u2019t know how to desire without loving because I don\u2019t know how to calm the tide \u2014I\u2019ll wrap my whole body around you, my arms around your neck, my legs at your waist\u2014; the one that rises from my lungs as I try to swim toward your hands once more \u2014I\u2019ll search the depths of your throat, tasting your broken breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I\u2019m not going to say that my heart only understands devotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will climb on top of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will let myself be consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014A sacred promise, total voluntary surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
