Intimacy

A taste of sanctuary that effortlessly departs distress.

An intricate interaction between the mind and heart, that creates tension between fantasy and reality.

The sensation which gently strings out one’s unintentional intentions,

caressing the soul to create a sacred space whilst hypnotizing the mind to illustrate the perfect illusion.

It’s the ambiguous nature of two beings inadvertently losing themselves to the other,

subconsciously exhuming more than just chemistry.

A touched engulfed by more than sexual tension, but the desire to reach a state of oblivious nirvana-

A feeling that extends far beyond the physical,

the savor of affection, understanding and familiarity.

It’s the recollection of trivial moments that ignited the passion,

awakening the rush of adrenaline that was experienced.

The quiver of the body craving mental and physical stimulation, which is calmed by the distinction between love and lust.

It’s the nostalgia that moves stealthily as you lose interest,
triggering the desire to relentlessly lay next to that heartbeat.

The mutter of mindful words to the universe, requesting eternal sunshine to comfort when found in despair and loneliness.
