Leave It Unsaid

I could say that I wanted you to press your mouth and your lips
Against my skin and
To feel your tongue softly moving in gentle circles
Around mine.

And I could say how much I loved the touch and taste of your skin,
All of it,
In the palm of my hand,
And on the tip of my tongue,
And that I wanted more of it
In my mouth.


But

There is no way that I could ever say this
With enough clarity and power and purpose
To cut through the acres of bullshit that
Surround as we go through our lives.

So

Why even try to put words together, or to express
Feelings that come from both between my ears and
Between my legs?
I have seen other people try this and they wind up lost in their words,
Swimming through fog,
Never reaching the other side.
Sometimes you just can't say these things.
You have to leave them unsaid.
