bead of sweat

I watch your brow
create a bead of sweat
it struggled, the droplet
they never seem to want
to fall
but as you moaned
gravity won, and the
fragment of bodily fluid
slid to your nose
I watched it there
for awhile,
watched it spilling together
like a snowball on a mountainside
it said to me of times that we had
when I met you, at the waterfalls
in the park, where you were groaning
about summer heat
waterfalls now, I thought,
but they
only heated
more
I watched your curl of your neck
and your seemingly agonizing bend
against me
the droplet, now a waterfall
dripped to your chest
I ached in my mind
seeing this sweat
that I earned for before
crawling down it's way
between your breasts
I watched as waterfalls turned to
pools of water, and it made me
think about when we went out
wake boarding on the lake
when you couldn't get up
till the end of the day
right then
you then came back to me
wrapping yourself around
me tightly
we both whispered lusty moans
in each other's ear
spinning around for what seemed
like a eternity
I watched you above me
and I thought to myself
I have died, and this is my angel
but I was very alive, really alive
I thought about the time I took you away
after church on Sunday
exploring each other's lips under the oak
in the city park
Then I watched it
the flooding river of
sweat
that started out from just a
idea of pleasure and lust
it spilled down further on your body
faster now
faster than it has ever before
It rimmed past her navel
still making it down
I felt it join us together
in those last moments of
voided bliss
I felt all the memories bleed away
through her
in her
I just held her tightly
that dark night
me and her wrapped in sheets
wrapped in love
