The Embrace

The full moon sat tucked In the darkness of the sky In quietness you came behind ……………..I could feel you Although you came in silence Every member of my body Standing at attention craving, waiting For the tenderness of your touch The stillness of the air the perfume of lilacs All add to envelop us in this moment You wait patiently knowing The anticipation I’m feeling Appreciating my inability To breathe Paralyzed by my desire The back of your hand slides S L O W L Y Tracing my face Your lips find the nakedness of my neck And I tilt my head in submission You lure me into you Nestle me tightly Securely in your embrace Without words Without time Without movement Your eyes seek for something in mine The whole of my being is yours As if this moment in time Was reserved just for us to look deeply Into each other and find ourselves Our longing Our needs Our truths Our expectations Our future
