Eyes open

and I see questions

in your eyes,

also open.

A little fear

and trepidation.

We both know

what’s coming next

will hurt.

We just need

to pierce the layer,

getting past

each other’s surface.

Skin to skin,

then we  go further.

Breaking through

that thin membrane,

until I’m in you,

and you’re in me,

and we’re sharing

each other’s dreams.

One flesh,

one being.

No more wondering.
