Shared

A hand hovers over my side
The barest whisper of a touch
Stars come within view
Moving slowly
Serpentine strokes
Bring me higher
Tongue taunting, teasing
Tracing it's way home
Fingers follow
Breaking all bonds
The only thing left
Is you and I
And a steady strum
Of heartbeat
Shared

Bread Alone

The bread at the feast

Never gets the credit

Always there, warm and ready

Slightly soft, crusty on the outside

Ready to mop up the leftovers

No one ever sits down

For a meal of bread alone

Ripped open

Hot, steaming

Torn, it’s never the same

Shared, it’s always better

But it never

Stands

On its own

Supernova

Pressure

Not quick, fleeting

Long, steady, building

More than half again

What anyone should bear

Position of surrender

Means anything but

Tables turn

Power switches hands

Giver becomes taker

Shared power

Becomes more potent

And then eventually

Supernova
