As I turn my head to my right
I feel your breath caress my shoulder
What I see causes me to wonder
What does the night before us hold?
I sense you watching from the corner of your eye
As my lips brush across your silken shoulder
And I hear the hint of a half-formed sigh
Emboldened I draw closer to you.
What are your thoughts?
What is in your mind?
How much dare I tell you?
How can I start to explain
The feelings your touch stirs in my heart?
A moments pause as I inhale the scent of your skin
Exciting me through and through.
The curve of your lips makes my heart fail
A kiss and I find I must calm what is within me.
A kiss so gentle that it excites me more
Sending thoughts and fantasies through my mind
Down a path that I never before have been invited.
A journey with someone touching my feeling.
There is something more than need in your sighs.
As you gently pull away from my side
You look into my eyes, searching for my soul
To see where in my heart you will abide.
In your own eyes I see softness and calm
Looking deeper I see eternity.
You unbind my last hesitant moment
And release me to simply be free.
I watch the candlelight dance across your body
The night air quivering through your hair.
I see a little hint of modesty
As you become aware of how far we have gone
And how much more we have to share.
Your eyes, your hands, your hushed voice
The wonder hidden in your palpable touch
The softness of your laugh tells me I have no choice
To know that no one else loves me as you do.
Dreaming, surrendering, seeking only pleasures
Treasuring each moment and sensation.
As the rhythm we set grows faster
My breath, my heartbeat will surely perish
The widening of your eyes, that little gasp
Is it delight or desire?
Whatever it is, what follows is the purest gold
As inhibitions are tossed aside
Every touch matched with fire
Exploring and being explored
With lips and bold hands.
I dare to do what I would not before
Because I must, I have to know
If where you are leading me I can take you.
Passion unleashed at last impossible to slow or stop
As each sensation leads to something new
Until there is no me, or you but only us
As hearts and self become for an infinity bare.
Flowing from one to the other, back and forth
Is the realisation that forever it is one soul we share.
