what I meant

when teachers nagged me out of reverie
and I said “I did it in my head”
by ‘it’ I meant you.

hands, tongue 
urgently explore each inch of warm brown skin 
nails, teeth 
leave blushing marks on creamy white flesh 

when you reached for my hand, then stopped short
and we exchanged that longing look
I raged at our fear.

green eyes 
transparent, playful, endless sparkling depths
dark eyes
still pools framed by ebony fronds

when they said in jest “you two
are so close you could be lovers”
I ached to tell them.

hold hands
interlocking fingers, squeezing, soft and warm
lock lips
eyelids flutter shut, salty tongues and bitter tears

when doors were locked, our tangled limbs one frame
and, nestling in, I murmured against your breasts
I said “I love you”.

dark fear
caustic ebbing away at ragged passion
bright hope
peeking through the cracks
