With eyes softly closed
I still taste you...
the lingering scent
of lavendar,
the wispy strands
of your hair on my cheek,
the soft and gentle rhythm
of heartbeats -
mere moments before
locked as one
roaring and surging
now nestling gently
calmly
entwined
inside and out.
With eyes softly closed
I still feel the heat -
sheer animal flame
primal fire
released yet encompassing
quenched yet ever hungry,
the effort of merging
sweat's sweet sting,
the timeless moment,
the 'afters' glow
the infinite softness
of you
and me
and such a fullness
I've come to know.
With eyes softly closed
a single tear flows
the indescribable emotion
released from within
as the eyes silently open
and find yours
looking in.
