Breathing Deeply

The candles dance slowly
Shadows swaying in tune with the flame
Casting a moving tapestry of desire against your skin
Quick flirtations of passion are granted
Then recede quickly into the unlit shadows

I have longed for this moment,
To look into those dark eyes
To feel the gentle breeze of your kiss,
The breath of an angel

Gently the tapestry moves
My hands caressing...softly,
Your silky skin beneath them,
My lips freely exploring,
Tasting the nectar of the Gods

Your hips sway with the dance of the flame
You moan softly,
Our hands grasping...
Then intertwined as the first wave breaks against your shore.

With a gentle plea, barely audible
You invite me in,
Your eyes locked on mine, rising to meet me
You guide me deep into your soul

We move as one in the candlelight
Our bodies locked in a passionate embrace,
Slowly at first, then in waves, weaving a tapestry of ecstasy
Surrounding me...Alive with your touch


Penetrating...Your body exploding with pleasure
Our bodies tense with anticipation
At the mercy of powers beyond our comprehension
We surrender to the arms of rapture

Descending again to our mortal confines
Our bodies shudder with exhaustion
Your dark hair cascades down my chest
As the candles design their tapestry of shadows
we are at peace,

Breathing Deeply
