A tender embrace filled with love,

The warmth shared between two bodies,

A scent from heaven in your arms,

Visions captured in your eyes, Faded in ecstasy,

It's not just a touch of your body to mine,

But the feelings we know in our minds,

Desires pent up, Feelings buried deep,

Fear of saying yes, When you know it's right,

In a world that says no, You can't think right,

Yet too scared to admit it, Thinking it wrong,

When one wants only to touch your heart,

To share in mutual feelings, An thoughts,

To have a hope that dreams could be real,

A touch, A caress, A kiss in the small of your back,

A tenderness when I say "I LOVE YOU"  that never ends,

A warm kiss upon your neck,

My breath warm against your breast,

That ignites the passion as we stare into each others eyes,

Words need not be said, It's all in a touch,

From my heart to yours................................
