RAW

It all started so fucking simple
A raw stare across a bar
A smile
Kisses in a car
Bodies against a door
In a bed
On the floor
It almost became a cliche
It could have become a joke
And when he said with truth
"I love you"
And she replied in kind
Not even thirty hours
After first stare
It almost became a soap opera plot
But he did
And she did
And they were shocked
By their own behavior
But they were most scared
Because they weren't scared
Not at all
They had been around the block
More than once, more than twice
Had been to the magic show
And figured out all the tricks
They had played the games
And were finally raw
And almost ready
To give it all up
Be alone
Hibernate
Embrace their base
And hide away the layers
And then suddenly it was all so fucking simple.
She thought his hands were beautiful
Strong, well worked, masculine.
He thought she has the softest lips
He had ever kissed.
She cried when he told her of his childhook
His heart pounded in fury as she told him of her former marriage
There was baggage between them
     as heavy as a lifetime
There were secrets they had never shared
There was laughter, even under covers
They compared tattoos, outlined them with tips of tongues
There were no games
They were raw
There was sex and more sex
And what started as a delicious release
Became a communion of hearts and souls
And unknown ecstasy
And because they were raw
Pleasure had fallen down on them like rain
They knew before fifty hours had passed
They had been searching for each other
Since the awakening of all desire
And they would never be parted
No matter what they had to change or destroy
To have the life they had been denied
The nauseating fairy tale
The fucking simple story
The badly written soap opera plot
Had gone from fiction to reality
And it was real
It was a lifetime of desire
That became an answered question
It was a chaotic symphony of souls
It was two people who never expected this
     at this point in their lives
It was two people
Who finally allowed themselves
To become raw
