My computer has gone to sleep. Yet I sit perfectly still, waiting. The early morning sun outside the window belies the chill of what is now, really, early fall. And the chill is also inside, seeming to hover close to the floor β and now climbing my bare legs, ever so slowly, causing the fine fair hairs that are legacy of my ancestors to stand out and quiver slightly as though they too were excited.
Because excitement fills the air.
And I wonder, no, I know it is that excitement β that anticipation β that protects her from the chill. That has allowed her to maintain that same still pose for, well, time no longer matters...only the moment matters, as only the connection will matter....when it comes.
Being male, even as I find the scene breathtaking, part of my mind continues to process what I am privileged to witness. I take in the long, rich hair cascading to her waist...and I cannot help but notice that the shirt, in some sense disappointingly, covers her lovely back and bottom. But I know it to be a lovely back and a lovely bottom so that disappointment is fleeting. From where I sit I know the angle of the mirror she is facing must be perfect for the purpose. I can see that the shirt is fully unbuttoned and peeled to either side. So that although I cannot see her breasts I know they too are fully revealed. I can see a hand on her inner thigh and know from her posture that the other hand must rest on the other thigh β in effect framing her exposed vagina. And I am fascinated by how she can hold such a pose: how she can both splay her knees to that extent yet at the same time sustain her weightlessness...in a manner no man could ever achieve, even for a moment, let alone hope to maintain over this duration of seeming infinity.
And she is gorgeous. Way beyond anything I could hope to see. Not only physically, but spiritually. Because I know she is not just examining her vagina. She is exploring her mind. Because I know, as she knows, and as I know she knows, and as she knows I know, that the very best truest sexuality emerges whole, and undiluted, from the mind.
So I wait...watching...for the 21st century version of Wordsworth's nun, 'breathless with adoration', to emerge....
Then, and only then, can I effectively take control...
I look, but do not see the image in the mirror. What was real, when first I sank to my knees, no longer matters. The sun has risen and shines through the window, warming my skin but it doesn't reach within. I had thought to see where the emptiness lay within me, but it is not skin deep, or heart deep. It cannot be reached through a kiss, or by mere penetration of any human organ. The mirror tells me lies, portraying my outside shell.
I feel his eyes on me; I know he has been watching me for a minute, an hour, an eternity. He is waiting for me to set aside my fears. I am waiting for me, too. He is so strong. His patience proves that. I raise my eyes from the mirror. I can see his reflection in the window, so very faintly. He simply watches and waits. How can I possibly deserve him?
I close my eyes on the mirror's lies. I can feel his hands on my shoulders, though I know he has not moved. Like the brush of butterfly wings, his fingers pull the shirt from my shoulders, down my back, where it pools on the floor. And still he has not moved. He sees me tremble ever so slightly, and he wants to soothe me, but he knows that I must take this step to liberation myself. He cannot free me. Though it is what he so desperately wants for me; what I so desperately want for myself.
