Love Leads Us

We aspire to nakedness.
Is that where life lies,
In an undressed heart?
Do we seek perfection?
Acceptance is not always
Compromise.
Your lips on my cheek,
Your breath in my ear
Birth a longing
That moves my tears to fall.
I am still,
While love flows.
Another inch
And our mouths would meet,
Soft desire pressed against soft desire:
A moment of promise,
Contained in itself,
Leading to nothing -
Not even expectation.
Though love leads us
Into others' arms,
You
Mean I am the best me
I can be.
