Without Fear of Consequences

This house is heated past the boiling point. In this heat anyone can look appealing. I’d forgotten how the heat can make you want to do things. Things you never thought you’d do. My stomach flutters and my skin boils. My blood turns bright red under my skin.
The touch is piercing. Cold water reaches up and brings goose bumps to every inch of me. Your hands on my shoulders and their soft skin rub my fears away. There is nothing when I close my eyes but the beat of your heart behind mine. Together we dive in.

Cold sharp water surrounds me in every direction. Distorted light, no sound, but the warmth of your hand finds me and we fall upwards together. We break surface with a splash of moonlight and I reach through the distance between us to give you a kiss. You are my love. My love is a tender and boisterous thing. It cannot be contained or silenced, it cannot hold a secret. You are my love.
