The Beginning

He strips his tie from his neck and throws it on the bar

Next to his glass of whiskey next to my martini

His voice is soft and subtle like a night ocean tide

I can’t imagine him ever screaming at me.

He tells me stories I wish I could have lived

And I laugh nervously to think I can’t keep up.

As we sit in the candlelight in a corner of the room

He intrigues me to wonder what our bodies would

Look like through the candlelight on my bed.

Our eyes linger for too long for comfort

Because we each see something in the other’s

Though what is unspoken is often true

I long to tell him there’s something stirring

And this water we’re treading is deeper

Than we both imagined.
