WITH EYES SOFTLY CLOSED

With eyes softly closed I still taste you...

the lingering scent of you,
the rough sand of your face 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 afterglow

  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

and as my eyes silently open
I find yours… looking in...
