Crushed velvet
Your skin, soft
Fingertips dance
Softly
Gleefully
With sudden liberty
To explore and retrace
Each subtle nuance
Each supple curve
The sun, ever-curious
Peaks through the window
Engulfing and invading
Our crumpled fortress of sheets and pillows
With a warm, blissful cascade of
Impossible oranges and reds
Celebration for the new day, together
Your lips brush against mine
Tenderly
Eagerly
Your heartbeat quickens
As I feel you press against me
The world melts away
Nothing else matters
Just this
Just you
And when your breath catches
There is no reason left to hide
