Our romance depended solely on
those moments of dissonance,
where tension would build up
and was desperate for release.
Bodies spread across blankets
like sheet music awaiting notes.
A harmony of sighs escaping
underneath staccato breathing.
Our music was always in tune;
you knew all the right chords.
A chorus of melodious moans
anticipating the final crescendo.
Then we lied in consonance,
a sense of sheer satisfaction,
knowing it wouldn’t be much
longer until our next duet.
