In the hours before the iPhone glow and canned gentle awakening there are moments when you remember, when that craving grows in the dark to a greedy hunger and the memory is lucid and sharp. The touch of light fingertips, the gentlest caress and tease of lips and tongue, the so slow build and escalation of anticipation and need and passion and desire.

There are memories buried in the soft curve of your mouth and the vulnerable curve in your neck where your blood sings the rhythm of your heart, where you recall the faint sting of hard kisses and teeth, the strength in a single broad hand, the gasping ache.

There are half-whispers that echo still in the treasure rooms of your mind, titles earned and pet names that bind and summon you like magic spoken in the wind of wings.

You feel the harmony of late night conversations and too close tumbles of words cascading into your silverquick mind, the inevitable build of the flood of language behind the straining gate, the connection and rhythm and resonance of a mind as fast as your own, entangling your thoughts and quickening your pulse, the promise finally of someone to break through your trench rings of ennui and disappointment, a blazing light that paints your path to promised more...

I want to know how quick you are, how your mind skates on thermals above the cracked desert and soars above the jagged mountains of this realm of mundanity, how your heart races in time with my own, and how I can quiet your breath and your murmuring pleas and promises.
