Dangerous

Shared words, enough
To break this silence
One smile enough
To break our ice
One touch enough
To be dangerous

Lingering touch of finger
Across full lips parted
The tip of tongue, inviting
Eyes closed, awaiting rapture
Flutter of your eyelids
Rapid beat of your heart

Knowing that pacing is everything
Yet sweeping along and carrying
You with me is all I think of
Dangerous to more than just one of us
Yet I let you know so little of me
Keeping what’s inside a mystery

You’re much more dangerous to me
Than I let on, you see
Barriers, once broken,
Offer no more protection
From one who can see through them all
No longer a useful umbrella to hide my heart from rain
