one night stand

"the most beautiful place in the world,"
you told me,
"is under the sheets."
so we made it ours.
only ours.
you clutched me inside
under a paisley-filled heaven
and above an upholstered cloud.
no word were spoken
only unfinished poetry rhymes
and chords with missing strings.
we let no light pass
just love
or was it not?
i forgot to breathe
as your lips
collided with mine.
so much were already said between them
so much
that to shut up was bliss
and as we closed our eyes
once again
the world was ours.
the warmth lingered
as your whispered promises
danced on the sides of my ear
your hands trekking down
the tiny humps of my spine
your legs locked with my thighs…
and we wonder—
how coffee, books and laughter
had brought us into this world of happiness
that though wrapped in darkness
we saw the light back to ourselves—–
———us.
as one.
i felt your skin brushed with mine
my head was on your shoulder
and before it escaped me
my heart was beating next to yours
the next thing i knew
i was back in the bigger world
and they were asking
where's erik?
to which i asked back
erik who?
