I Am

I preach the need for change. For embracing it. For not fearing it. Yet strive as I might to be a disciple of this teaching, I find myself reluctant to step off my current path and reach for something extraordinary. Why is the opportunity here now, when I have only just broken-in my current lifestyle? Life is a tricky business.

But if there is one thing I have little respect for, it is hypocrisy. So my decision will not be made out of fear, either for losing what I have or losing what might have been.

Today, I am here. I am in this word, and in this. Today, I am the light behind your eyes.

I’m that hungry feeling you get when you see something you want. This hunger isn’t in your mind, or heart, but somewhere darker and deeper.

I’m what’s on the other side of that moment of indecision.

I’m the one who knows what you’re *really* thinking when you look away and say you’re not sure. I’m the trail of heat along your throat when lips find skin and whisper promises against your pulse. I’m the hand on your neck, the bite when you expect a kiss, the kiss when you expect a fight. I’m the guilt that feels better then it should. I’m the seduction that knows what you want before you want it. I’m the wry smile that knows you’re already getting wet.

I’m the hands that still you, the voice that invades, the binds that give you the freedom to be alive for those moments you’re with me.

  1. I was thinking along the same lines, with a slighty different twist. It is amazing to me how one person can write almost exactly what another person desires.
