Running
Its 8:00am.
We are moving like wild horses in an open field.
Parted lips
heavy sighs
and determination
mix together to create ecstasy.
Creating our own beat as our pace quickens,
breath on top of breath
(breathe breath
breathe breath
breathe breath)
as I breathe you in.
(heart pumps)
Long and then staccato.
Inhaling into your speed,
I chase you.
Exhaling into control,
I track you.
Inhale
Exhale
as I watch,
sweat meet neck
meet collarbone
meet stomach
meet thigh
meet passion
cascading down our body
creating steam as it touches heated skin.
Sizzling
Stanzas
Stagnate
Muscles tighten.
Our sounds battle nature,
grunts overtake bird chirps
sighs defeat raindrops
our panting breaks the sound barrier.
Sticks break beneath our,
feet
pound so hard the earth cracks.
Our pace blends
In
as we push fatigue Out
In synch
Out of synch
In
breathe Out
In
breathe Out
breathe In
As we run together.
