WITHOUT HEARTS OR FLOWERS
*******************************
Instead of resting, her mind races with images and
sensations too insistent to ignore, too astounding
to suppress.  She's not a "hearts and flowers"
kind of woman; he isn't a "declarations of undying
love" guy.  They had come together in a way that was
both surprising and expected, remarkable and
comfortable.  

Theirs was a love unspoken and yet undeniable--unlikely,
but perfectly, completely right.  Once consummated,
it was earth shattering in its intensity.

And so, sleep will not claim her tonight, though she
is physically and emotionally spent.  She lies,
listening to the sound of his calm, even breathing,
and remembers breath coming in hot, shuddering gasps
as he pushed inside her for the first time.  She
remembers warm, soft lips and gazing into eyes that
spoke of love, fierce and eternal--passion so intense
it brands her soul.  
 
There will be time for sleep, but now is for
categorizing memories to last a lifetime.
