Terpsichore Behind the Mask - 3. Courante
Courante
Could we hug,
and cuddle on the couch
while the radio plays good old tunes,
songs about summer and how love feels when you’re young
and so sure of everything you know
that you overlook what’s
obvious?
Lie with me,
kiss me till I'm breathless,
claim territory with fevered lips,
not knowing where your skin stops and my own begins,
let sweet contact's metamorphosis
transform our twin desires
into one.
I begged you
to mount me as your steed,
and ride me across the bright white sheet,
that we might charge together into ecstasy
galloping in joyous abandon
toward that exalted cliff
to jump off.
You asked me,
heart thumping in your chest,
if I really wanted you like this;
to feel you kneel behind and nudge my legs apart
and open me up to take you in,
to slide deep into me;
I said yes.
You pushed in,
did nothing tentative,
took me in one, singular smooth thrust,
buried your steel in me to the hilt of your sword;
for I’d endure many such piercings,
each better than the last,
to please you.
Did you hear
my cry of sheer delight
as you filled my body with your own;
and did you feel the tremors running up my spine
when you drilled down deep into my core,
that signal of the quake
soon to come?
Many people refuse to give poetry the time of day, let alone actually read any. Thanks for being one of the few who at least sample it. I hope you thought it worthwhile.

I am grateful you took time to read Terpsichore. I must also repeat my deep thanks to @AC Benus for his invention and sharing of this poetic form, and for his help in editing and beta reading. I'm also thankful to @asamvav111 for his beta reading, and suggestions. If you have any comments or thoughts to share, I'd be happy to see them. Any sort of response is welcome.
