Give in to the Warmth

Let me try to shape all my thoughts into actual words...
Unaware you vegetate along and suddenly,
you feel a rope tightening around your neck.
A controlled yet oddly playful pull
draws you backward—not too fast, not too slow.
The further you're pulled back,
the more intensely you feel that certain warmth,
the kind only a body can radiate.
As the warmth seems to consume you,
you suddenly feel a chest against your back,
almost frail, yet surprisingly fitting.
The further your upper body tilts backward,
the more perfectly the warm body behind you
molds against yours.

You stop resisting, surrendering to this unique sensation
of warmth and security.

Suddenly, your attention shifts back to the rope
tightening around your neck.
Perfectly placed, you feel the blood
in your veins slowing down.

As the sounds around you begin to fade
into a distant murmur and your body,
drained of tension,
fully gives in to the warmth—
you close your eyes...
