I watch as she sleeps.
A smile graces her contenance
And I want to be with her once more;
Feel her close to me;
Our bodies covered in the sweet
Sheen of love making.
Reaching out my hand,
I outline her soft lips, her nose.
I am caught in her burning gaze
And fall into the depths of the passion
I see mirrored there.
Bodies move together, slowly whispering
Against each other until
Our throats are straining with
The joy of it all.
