Celebration

The minute they got in,
the world seemed to fade
and focus on that single moment.

Mouths melded in an
eternal kiss, shivers engulfing them
both as the first spark
of desire ignited
a heat that took them twenty-two months
to hold back.

Their skin seemed to sizzle
and crackle with that
first flame.

A hot-white flash of skin,
heated words burned
them in the moment.

The anticipation built,
as they neared the final union.
A quick scrape of skin to skin,
a brilliant flash of light beneath their eyelids.

The world between them exploded in
a blinding flash of red sparkles and silvery streaks.

It was a majestic explosion,
a display of ecstasy.

They stilled from the frantic pace,
a blissful silence overtaking them,
this was the moment they had
waited for, consuming them.

It was time.
