The Best Conversations

The Best Conversations

The best conversations
     Are had between sheets.
Lost beneath layers,
     Legs tangled together,
          Knees to thighs to intertwining toes,
Our bodies might as well be vapor,
     Melding skin and breath,
          An erotic heat,
               A mattress haze.
Words pour out like water,
     Uninhibited vocabularies expand,
          Shakespearean at their peak,
               Then downright dirty
As we dive
Dive
Dive!
Losing ourselves
     In nothing but ourselves,
Until we rise,
     For oxygen
          And the shimmering sound
               Of lover's speech.
