Time Warp
I lay in the bath, scented candles gently waft
tantalising and teasing as the hot water brushes
my skin setting it tingling. I stir my legs and
hands creating rippling waves that set me afire.
I see you approaching through the billowy steam
and hold out my arms in welcome. You tease as
slowly you strip naked giving an odd tantalising
wiggle then lean over and kiss me passionately.
You slide into the bath with me water lapping
over the edge. Our limbs tangle as our lips
meet in hot lingering kisses and we slowly
sink under the surface entwined together.
Gasping I come up and stare around baffled
realising I am on my own, that I had slid under.
Slowly, sadly I realise it was only a dream, a
beautiful moment suspended in another time.
The veils had parted allowing us to love briefly
once more until we are, at last reunited by death.
