The In Betweens

it wasn't where that they needed to be
was not there and didn't have to
it was somewhere and that's where everything
happened somewhere in between

she remembered how it was almost dawn
light peering through the door
not that she saw it only that she did
recall and it was only fleeting that she
thought how it was about to turn daylight

he ran his hand down her back
she inched her arms around his neck
as he pulled her close and held her
tight as if there would be nothing
left but air to grasp and then soon nothing
left to breathe....

she kissed his cheek, ever so close to his lips
his mouth groping for hers
tender, sweet, passionate, loving kisses
his each and everyone one better then
before making her want more and more
and the darkness filled their
in betweens

he grabbed her hair and gently pulled
her head back as he kissed her neck
from her lips all the way down
to her breasts and then
back up again to her mouth.. she
wrapped her hands around his
face and kissed him again
and again love and lust
intermingled in their arms

he pulled her blouse she modestly
tried to turn away, but he reached behind
her and unclasp her bra... he could not
stop himself and she did not want to stop
him now..

he grabbed her and lifted her
she mostly a willing participant, wrapped her
legs around him as he held her so close to him.
he sat her on the table and they made love
they made love like neither had before.

but now it was time to go, to leave
and what was to be done, there was
no answer to their love...they had no
choice for it was already in the morning
light now each and every kiss somewhere
out there and what was done, was done
and never knowing
where they were or where they were
going or where they were to be
and the morning light filling the air

too late to turn back secrets
that would stay between them forever
he held her hand and kissed so gently
the tears she cried when he said,"
not again, not ever again." Her heartache
filling the in betweens....
