The gentleness of your kiss on
my brow as I'm sleeping.
The comfortable balance between love and
lust each adding fuel to the other's flame.
That reluctant look in your eyes that
says you need to be weak in my arms.
The invisible brand on my heart that makes
no other capable of taking your place.
Comfort in knowing you would sooner
walk through fire than betray your promise
to me.
The intimate perusal of one another's
thoughts without a word being spoken.
Electricity in my touch, desire
in my voice that says you are truly wanted.
The way your body clings to mine like
wet leaves against glass in a spring shower,
the perfection of fit, my glove to your hand.
The absence of limits my love knows in
its quest to make our reality surpass your
wildest dreams.
Flexibility to change and evolve individually
and not outgrow the context of our love,
to cherish each other separately
and still recognize the splendor of us.
The lingering sensation of your kiss,
memories of last night's love made
making me smile well into the next day.
I live for the beauty of simple things-
the simplicity of loving you.
