A Heaving State Of Bliss

Rays of sunlight caress our naked skin ever so softly, through the leaves of trees. And feelings of ecstasy stir within; as gentle breezes titillate and tease. And immodesty kicks back the covers; exposing a tangle of arms and feet. And a warm sensation cocoons lovers; in a sweaty blanket of prickly heat. Passion's pulse sets the rhythm for two heartbeats that merge into one, then begin to race. And with bated breath, like fevered athletes they acquiesce; to love's tender embrace. And melt into a heaving state of bliss; while punctuating feelings with a kiss.
