Anticipation

Temptations teasing in the night as embers glow within the pit just you and I in pale moon light that begs our passions to submit I see the look within your eyes and tender smile that beckons me a promise of love’s sweet surprise I know this night was meant to be and as you reach and touch my arm my yearning heart begins to race with longings just to know your charms and feel your sighs upon my face temptations prodding to pursue as stars peek down from up above; our time is now, I beg of you ...please don’t make me wait for love.

More sweet than painful I think, assuming you don’t have to wait too long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Richard, I appreciate it. John
